RockPro64 has no white led, nor will it boot past...

[AnjinMeili]

I have tried endless OS images, on both SD cards and eMMC, and am simply frustrated.

When I fire up a Debian buster image, it boots to the installer, gets all the way to the end, and then... Dies when it attempt to boot into the os for the first time.

The Armbian and ayufan images get to 'Flattened Device Tree blob at 01f00000' and 'Booting using the fat blob at 0x1f00000' and hangs.

There is no white LED at all as well.

Seems so strange as it grinds though so much doing the installer for Debian Bullseye.  

Hoping this is just my own stupidity, and I am missing something obvious.

Thanks for the advice and guidance.

Cheers

So.. I kept going backwards, and found an image that booted.  Read a pile of materials, and decided to start with the sigmaris u-boot updates to SPI.  Painless, and system booted a current Armbian without issues.  Also have a white LED now.[/url]

Strange you couldn’t get the latest and Armbian Jammy found here to boot from SD. It really is just a case of downloading the image and writing it to an SD Card, popping it into the RP64 applying the power and you’re good to go. At least you’re up and running now but it looks like you spent a lot of time getting there. https://www.armbian.com/rockpro64/
