  1. Restart the Rock 64
  2. mount the partition of the SD card where you can find the right files, for us it was sda6, corresponding to the mmcblk0p6 partition.
  3. Replace all the files of /boot/efi of the Rock64 by the corresponding files found on the SD card :
  • extlinux/extlinux.conf
  • dtb
  • image
  • initrd.img
After a restart, the display is OK

sledgehammerish, OK, but it worked. Replacing only the extlinux.conf file did not work. Replacing the dtb file did not work. replacing initrd.img file alone breaks the system. The problem was in the 0.5 kernel, and the question was if was possible to replace by the 0.6 kernel without breaking everything. I expected it would, but this didn't and the system is still running well.
