Another non-booting ROCK64
06-07-2019, 12:20 PM
Hey all,
I picked up a ROCK64 from ebay for a project I am working on. But I have been unable to get it to boot.
The board was new, in a sealed static bag, with a 32gb SanDisk card and a 3amp wall wort. The board is marked "V2"
I have tried numerous images and numerous SD cards including Samsung EVO cards, numerous writing methods, pine64 installer, etcher, dd, etc.
99% of the time I just get 3 solid LEDs on the board and no video output. One image booted to a command prompt ONE time, the MrFixit image that was prepared for the v3 board, linked in this post: Rock64 v3 and SD-Cards. However, that singular boot has never been repeated.
a few of the images I have tried:
Armbian_5.88_Rock64_Ubuntu_bionic_default_4.4.180_desktop
rock64-debian-mrfixit-050919_2
xenial-minimal-rock64-0.5.10-118-arm64
bionic-lxde-rock64-0.7.9-1067-arm64
and most of the options available in the pine64 installer for a rock64 v2.
I checked the power supply, and it shows 5.2v without load. I don't have access to hardware to try to hit the serial TTY.
I am fresh out of ideas here. What is the likelihood that I am just unlucky and this board is bad? Anybody have other ideas?
