Hello folks,

 

I'm having trouble booting https://dl.armbian.com/lime-a64/Debian_stretch_next_nightly.7z as of today on my  A64-OLinuXino-1G4GW. Armbian is installed on an external µSD card; the device has internal flash.

 

Do you see, how I can fix this issue?

 

Thanks, 

yanosz

I can only confirm that A64 boards are mostly broken ATM. By joining and slowly discovering where is the problem and fixing it?

You can try to build an image on your own by using DEV targets, kernel 4.18.y. IIRC it boots, but many things do not work yet. Check kernel development progress here:
