Rock64 doesn't boot
#1
I'm having no success booting up my Rock64 for the first time. I have successively with two 16GB Toshiba micro SD cards (backward compatible UHS-I). I first flashed a Debian image with Etcher. Then I read that it's recommended to use the Pine64 installer. So, I downloaded that and started with the Xenial Base image. Then I tried again with the Xenial Mate image thinking that the base image might not have the necessary HDMI driver. But no luck booting with any of these. The three LEDs light up solid, but nothing comes on the HDMI screen. I'm using the barrel socket power supply by Pine64 so power is not the issue. I even substituted a working micro SD card from my Raspberry Pi with a Raspbian OS, but the result is always the same. I'm a noob, but I really can't see what I'm doing wrong. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
