xaduha Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Latest doesn't seem to work at all, so something like 5.59 4.18.0-rc7-sunxi64 mentioned here https://github.com/armbian/testings would be ideal. Alternatively is there a way I can build old version myself? I ran ./compile docker BOARD=orangepilite2 BRANCH=dev but resulting image doesn't work also.

xaduha Posted December 20, 2018 Author Posted December 20, 2018 Doesn't boot as far as I can tell, red LED. If that's normal, then I'll check further. I ordered some USB-TTL, but I don't have it yet. Images that I got from official site work (android and ubuntu).

I ordered some USB-TTL, but I don't have it yet. Images that I got from official site work (android and ubuntu). Probably it boots up just fine. We have a recent test report https://github.com/armbian/testings/blob/master/orangepilite2-dev.report confirming that. Official images are based on a Linux 3.10.y which is EOL and code is a terrible state. It's not worth investing precious time into this. Allwinner H6 support for modern kernel is just not there yet while most of the basic things already works for months. HDMI could be also brought up, but it's simply too expensive in the present state.
xaduha Posted December 20, 2018 Author Posted December 20, 2018 Well the image that report describes isn't available, is it? https://dl.armbian.com/orangepilite2/nightly/ doesn't have it and https://dl.armbian.com/orangepilite2/archive/ is empty. Maybe it's a good idea to keep at least one of those when a report is made?

Armbian has a deterministic compilation process. If an image for this board with a kernel 4.19.1 works, there is a (almost) 99.9% certainty that auto created image with a kernel 4.19.9 works as well. There were no related changes in the source between those two builds. Edited December 20, 2018 by Igor added "almost" :)
xaduha Posted December 20, 2018 Author Posted December 20, 2018 Well, it works, that red LED misled me. With everything else so far it turned green shortly after powering up with a bootable card.
