Dear Mara,
thank you very much for your builds, but I could not boot.
Is there anything special that we must do?
Regards,
Hi @darkstar
you need to look at the output on the debug console, today I checked it on another board, it also does not load.

Thanks very much for this! The slarm64 project has been super helpful (thanks to your RISC-V support, I managed to produce an image that boots on the DevTerm)! So I was very excited to see a version available for the Rock5b.
It boots fine and I can ssh to it (if I tail the DHCP logs to find out what it gets assigned), but I seem to be having trouble with video using this image. No video, no /dev/fb*, and startx (predictably) can’t find a video device. Is the official kernel missing some drivers?

Out of desperation, I even tried the XFCE image (which apparently has neither vi nor ed): no luck, same results. Any ideas?
Very cool! Will dd it today and give results in the other thread. Funny coincidence you’re doing CRUX, right after I did the Slackware image for DevTerm, I started on getting a CRUX image to boot (It works great but I have to do some cleanup: https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/crux-for-devterm-a06-dev-notes/11879/5 ) and was thinking, since they are both Rockchips so I could have the Rock5b do the heavy lifting for builds (4GB of RAM required some unsavory hacks to get things like qt6 to build) but thought it’d be easier to start with Slackware. This makes it a little easier. Thanks for your efforts!
