Rock64 won't boot
11-02-2022, 08:22 PM
Hi:
I have a new Rock64. So far I am 0/2 in terms of getting OSes to boot. First I tried DietPi (DietPi_ROCK64-ARMv8-Bullseye.7z) . Followed directions, unzipped OS, flashed with Etcher. It never booted just had a flashing red light. Next I tried one of the recommended Ambian (Armbian_22.08.8_Rock64_jammy_current_5.15.74_xfce_desktop). This was one actually booted into the command line but once I made a user and tried to get the desktop going it crapped out on me. I just ended up with a black screen with a flashing white cursor in upper left hand corner. Both these issues seem to be in the forums/online but with no apparent solutions. The Rock64 DietPi thread goes back years ago. So if anyone has recently successfully installed and run one of the recommended OSes in the getting started guide for the Rock64 please let me know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
