For Comm Object failure..below command does the trick.

 

Quote

echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="2207", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"' | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

and reboot.

 

Now i am stuck in updating the image on board.

This tool doesn't show any progress...i am waiting on below screen for 50 minutes. Does it take so long?

moved to p2p tech support. we don't support firefly rk3288 within armbian and the question is not armbian related.

You can use mainline uboot and mainline kernel with firefly-rk3288 .. I've got gentoo, up and running from eMMC. Will try debian, ubuntu and arch which should follow a similar process and I'll post a guide when its done.

you wrote

 

ef update.img


but the right command is:


uf update.img

that's why. EF erases, UF uploads. topic's end and SOLVED.

e97 i've found that debian stops at the 8th version about it (premade images). the main problem was that /lib/modules is empty and even if i found a solution to get debian buster in it, the libmali-midgard0 driver still shout repeatedly some error about rk3x-i2c in dmesg :'(
 

i hope arch will do better if the armbian image don't.
i'll start a new thread and register, if any find it useful.

"solved" is a better word to describe this thread than "successful"
