The power LED comes on and some of the images light the heartbeat LED, but I don't get a video output, my router doesn't detect a new device on the network (I've attached it via ethernet), and I'm not able to get a response from the uart/usb interface (I'm new to uart, so I'm not 100% sure on this point). I've tried booting off a eMMC and microSD. I checked the microSD with badblocks to see if it was corrupt, but it checks out.
Any recommendations?
Please share the exact experience with each image.
I only have experience with Plebian, so the following (only) applies to that:
- Which (exact) image version/release did you download? Did you verify the download with the checksum?
- Plebian resizes the partition/filesystem on first boot, so that can take a bit longer.
- https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Quartz64#Co...Debug_UART describes how to connect the UART; it should work on Model A, so you should get output
