Got my board for testing.
However it looks like either instructions are not up to date - or the latest image (b6) has issues.
Following this:
https ://docs.radxa.com/en/orion/o6/getting-started/quick-start
It says
Visit the Download Page and download the Debian 12 pre‑installed image.
However on
https ://docs.radxa.com/en/orion/o6/download
there are two images for Debian 12. The description for them is poorly translated from Chinese and not entirely clear. I tried both of them with the following results:
orion-o6-debian12-preinstalled-desktop-b6.img
The progression is similar to what is described in the Quick Start Page, I can see the following screen
and boot into Debian desktop.
HOWEVER
- I can only see Debian desktop if I connect the screen with USB-C. If I connect with DisplayPort / HDMI cables, the screen stays black indefinitely (no signal).
- There is no image present in home folder to flash to NVME drive with Ethcher.
orion-o6-debian12-desktop-arm64-b6.iso
The progression here is not described anywhere - I did not see it in Quick Start or any of the videos on the Internet. After choosing flash drive as Boot Device I get into this screen
No matter what option (Install or Graphical Install) I choose there, the video signal disappears from all possible video outputs (I tried DispalyPort, USB-C and HDMI). The green light stays on and blue light blinks rapidly two times with some interval - I get the same blinking pattern when booted into Debian Dekstop with orion-o6-debian12-preinstalled-desktop-b6.img, so my guess is that the board is active, but there is no output.
My next option is to flash NVME with my desktop - but I figure not everyone has that option, so it would be nice to investigate what is wrong and correct the image or the quick start guide.
