- Login console is enabled also on mUSB connector
- Known problem: reboot sometimes doesn’t bring the device back.
- Network devices are not managed by Network manager. Configure via /etc/network/interfaces

If you have a board with the -B version of the SOC, you may add the following line to your /boot/armbianEnv.txt file to allow operation at 1.3ghz:
overlays=b@1.3ghz
If you have a board with the BS version of the SOC, you should add the following line to your /boot/armbianEnv.txt file to tune for the newer “BS” silicon and run at 1.3ghz:
overlays=bs bs@1.3ghz
Note that the B version SOC is more common. I have never seen one. The BS version supposedly will be labeled RK3308B-S.
Refer to /boot/dtb/rockchip/overlay/README.rockchip-overlays for more information.
flash-image-{ddr3,ddr4}-MEM-RAM_CHIPS-CPU_DDR.bin
to your formatted USB key, plug it into USB3.0 port and execute from u-boot prompt:
bubt flash-image-ddr3/ddr4-MEM-RAM_CHIPS-CPU_DDR.bin spi usb
In case you experience instability reflash boot loader with lower CPU speed values! SoC speed can be found printed on the armada chip, under the heat sink. No 1200 chips have been reported, 800 is a safe option, 1000 is a likely option. It can also be found as part of the current u-boot output.
