@AurealNix download the KDE v0.2 again and I was able to write it to SD card . No issues. I am impressed, KDE loads just fine. Took a bit to load the first time. Wifi works just fine, loaded Chromium and launched Youtube. Playback is good, at the moment full screen drops frames. Audio through HDMI just worked, no issue. I also loaded the KDE image on eMMC, it did not boot. I will check what is going on use serial and report back if I see anything.

I had quick look at both new version 0.2 version. The CLI version boots up no issue, hdmi output works. Well test further. The KDE version, I get an error using BalenaEtcher writing the image to the SD. Also can you provide the root password? ( just notice Root is locked )

@Marvin-03 Looks like your GIT no longer has the changes for OrangePI4a board available.

@Marvin-03 ** run the commands to fix partitions on my IMG build, just like you mentioned and it fixed it.** Your Orangepi4a img is working, I am able to BOOT. But I am accessing the board through the console. Confirmation of the boot is below. I also had a look at the partitions from the IMG created of the GIT build and your own image. See details below. This is the partitions list of the IMG build of GIT This is the partition list of your IMG for comparison

I did get an alert from BalenaEtcher, when writting the IMG file to SD. It reported not having a BOOT partition. I continued through the alert and the PI board did boot to the prompt results I originally reported. I am going try you image now and will let you know.

@Marvin-03 Here are the results of the commands provided, hope this help. Thanks for the link of your image builds, will try them out.

@Marvin-03 The link to your pre-built images, does not contain any images. I built the image for the OrangePI4a from you git and I am able to boot, with errors. I am including below the result of the boot as I see it from the console.
