Cannot get RockPro64 to boot

I've tried 2 different microSD cards. I've tried prepping the microSD cards using Ubuntu and MacOS, using built in tools and Etcher.

I get the same results no matter what I do:
  • The green power LED turns on
  • Ethernet lights turn on, and blink as if there is activity but never appears on my network.
  • If I hold down the power button the ethernet lights turn off
I am definitely using RockPro64 OS images.


Am I doing something wrong or did I get a bad board?

My waters say your board is OK. It could be the SDcard slot is non-functional, or your SDcard writing is duff (yeaf I hear you have maultiple/many tries!)
Green LED means your PSU works as far as the socket on the RPro64
Flashing Ethernet lights mean the board is trying to boot BUT
NO white LED means no bootable image found.

As per Bullet64 tracing with a UART adapter would be ideal. But - my 6p is
1) Stick to the Ubuntu minimal image here.
2) Check this thread.

  • PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
