Rock64 Login

[lpninja]

Hi everyone!Nice to meet you. 

I have a Rock64 v2.0, 20170713

I installed:

Armbian_5.59_Rock64_Debian_stretch_default_4.4.152_desktop.img using the Etcher flasher on microSD.

The first time I insert the flashed microSD card into the Rock64 i eventually get a login prompt asking for user.

I write in user: root and press enter.
There is now no response or it hangs for a long time and I don't get the password prompt.

Then I press reset on the Rock64 board and after a while i do get some text on the screen, mainly hexadecimals and addresses cycling through, then the screen goes black. This goes on an infinite repeat loop.

I have a keyboard and mouse plugged in and wired Ethernet.

Does anyone have this or am I approaching this the wrong way?

Many thanks,
luke

You can try out ayufan Bionic LXDE build, https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/releases/, and check whether has similar issue.

You also can post your post at Armbian forum and somebody experience with Armbian build may able to provide better answer.
