Unable to boot anything... - fontalamh - 08-19-2017
I bought a Rock64 4GB and an eMMC.
I am unable to boot the board.
I have tried booting the the board repeatedly using the eMMC and 3 different SD cards (and I have tried removing the eMMC and putting the switch on)
I have downloaded every image both hf and 64 bit, some several times. I have tried burning the SD and eMMC in different ways - using your PINE installer, etcher, disk manager, I have used linux and windows to do this. I have checked MD5s for downloaded files where available (community downloads seem to be missing these)
I have encountered three outcomes:
- Android boots and I can interact for maybe 20 seconds before the screen freezes I can't actually do anything in that time.
- Linux boots and then throws an kernel exception dumping stack trace, sometimes I can ctrl-alt-del to reboot to the same, sometimes I can't. I can only ever do that once.
- The 3 lights come on and nothing else happens.
If this was a PC I would be trying different memory as this reeks of memory corruption but of course I can't try that.
It feels like the board is at fault - am I missing something?
I've raised a ticket with Pine64.

Come meet me on the irc ( see address below ) and I'll help you live;
... the board might be bad; however, I doubt it. Let's talk live, there are some things I can have you check.

Sorry for disappearing from IRC, I fried my install on a the laptop I was on - I forgot it was using the SD card...
Anyway, tried script again but with different image, same result.

no worries;
You have a support ticket open; pretty sure its a board issue; I'll mention it to tllim too.
