Installation instructions:
- Write image to SD using BalenaEtcher.
- Boot from SD by holding the recovery (RCI) button while powering the board.
- Release RCY button after the blue LED flashes once.
- Once booted, use
armbian-installto write u-boot to MTD (SPI flash). This completely and irrevocably removes Petitboot, replacing it with mainline u-boot. - You can also install to NVMe, USB, or eMMC. NVMe or eMMC is recommended.
- Images here are for 5B, for model 5A can be found here.
- Some eMMC devices are broken on 5A
- PD is broken for the 5B model (background) on most revisions that are in the wild and is causing boot loop. Workaround is to use a stupid / fixed 5-24 volts USB-C power supply.
- Installation to NVME or USB is done via standard armbian install utility (
sudo armbian-install). Make sure to generate partitions and format them before start.
