I lost whole day yesterday to try boot with new images from Armbian download page - kernel 6.1 / kernel 6.8 bookworm/trixi and none boots...

If I take Ubuntu or Debian image I have no problem to boot from.

Do you have the same?

@DroZDI which image did you download 

I tried a few images and I wasn't able to use only the 6.8.10/11 because of video issues. All the others with kernel 6.1 worked fine. Maybe you're using the non-plus version of the images?

this is not video issue...

I attached with serial port to see... it is not loading image

 

I found something here:

https://sd-card-images.johang.se/boards/orangepi_5_plus.html

 

like a bootloader is needed?

@DroZDI did you unpack the .xz file? xz -d?

 

Can you dd/(or other image tool) and mount the SD card on your computer and see a proper boot partition?

I've never heard of this and doesn't look like it's Armbian. Did you try an image from the official mirros? https://redirect.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/archive/

Because it isn't. That is some other people's work.

OP most likely used wrong image.

yes I unpack and write SD card

also I tried without unpacking

results the same

how exactly are you writing to the SD card? I just did it today with Gnome Image Writer and it worked without any issue. The image I used was https://mirror-us-stl1.armbian.airframes.io/dl/orangepi5-plus/archive/Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_vendor_6.1.43_gnome-oibaf_desktop.img.xz

 

There is no need to unpack. Right click -> open with Image Writer -> select destination (SD card) -> wait until the process finishes -> boot with SD card -> setup Armbian -> start using.

For me all Armbian images stop after that:

Means nothing without stating

- the exact image you are trying to use (full file name  and download source)

- the exact method of writing the image to the microsd card

 

https://debug.armbian.de

I gave up with that  now... I installed Ubuntu and it works

Maybe I would come back to Armbian later...

So OP confirms there is no issue since they refuse to provide necessary information.

Case closed.
