June 6, 20242 yr I've done quite a bit of searching and can't find anyone else reporting this specific issue. As the title says any 6.8 image I try fails to boot. The LED is red for approx 4 seconds, turns green for 2 or 3 seconds, and then turns red again and stays that way no matter how long I wait. There is never any video regardless of which HDMI port I use. I've tried the following images: Armbian_24.8.0-trunk.85_Orangepi5-plus_noble_edge_6.8.12_gnome-oibaf_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_edge_6.8.10_gnome-oibaf_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_noble_edge_6.8.10_xfce_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_edge_6.8.10_cinnamon_desktop.img.xz 6.1 images work fine. I get the immediate blinking purple-ish indicator and video with the middle HDMI port. Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_cinnamon_desktop.img.xz Armbian_24.5.1_Orangepi5-plus_bookworm_vendor_6.1.43_minimal.img.xz The closest thing to my problem I could find was this I'm aware these folks are using 5B not 5 Plus but I went ahead and tried this anyway unplugging the HDMI to see if it would boot. That didn't work either. I know sometimes certain image writers work while others don't. I've tried writing these images in balena etcher, rufus, and raspberry pi writer. This doesn't seem to effect the situation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
June 6, 20242 yr mainline support in 6.8 is to be considered experimental at most. Breaking is likely since it is bleeding edge. Feel free to use an image from earlier release. I hope at some point things get rebased on 6.10-rc where lots of new stuff hit mainline.
