Please update PineH64 pages to say Armbian is unsupported - JGwinner - 07-11-2019 I feel really silly posting this, but the Armbian folks were pretty direct about Armbian support. The net result is that ANY H64 board is apparently so unsupported, that asking questions about it is wasting their time and abusive (their words, and sorry for being snarky/not sorry). The wiki page: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/PINE_H64_Main_Page Does not state any of that. I would suggest updating it to say "Unsupported" per Igor, below: Quote:Igor: Emphasis mine. Note that the same page on the Armbian site doesn't specify "A" or "B", just shows a picture. Apparently, you're supposed to compare the picture and then realize you have a different board; despite the fact that the H64 page on Pine64 for the "B" board links to the same build. Per Tido/Retro: Quote:Tido: If you go to Pine64, the "B" board, then link to Armbian, there are no pictures, and no mention that only "A" works and neither is supported. The file name is missing an "A" but given that the Pine64 "B" page links here ... you would think it works. So, maybe not so stupid. In any event, the Raspberry Pi 4 is looking better and better ... It's a shame, the power connector on the Pi4 is absurd; the H64 had a much better construction IMHO, more suited to a commercial, low quantity operation. == John == RE: Please update PineH64 pages to say Armbian is unsupported - evilbunny - 07-11-2019 (07-11-2019, 03:23 PM)JGwinner Wrote: The wiki page: I've put a comment on the wiki and linked back to your post about only the A board being a WIP.

RE: Please update PineH64 pages to say Armbian is unsupported - JGwinner - 07-11-2019 Thanks Bunny. Perfect! Although it makes me sad I really want a version of Debian to work with this board. I'm going to keep working at it, but I can't make it a priority anymore, I have some production targets we have to hit. == John == RE: Please update PineH64 pages to say Armbian is unsupported - as365n4 - 11-30-2019 Armbian is still marked as unsupported, but they now have images for Buster Server, Buster Desktop and Disco Server all running Kernel 5.3 (images released 2019-11-19). I tried both Buster flavours and they work fine from SD-Card however they still won't boot from eMMC, the desktop is usable and has everything like the "normal" supported image for other boards.
