Thanks, latest release is a really good image

I've tried to modify the vega script you added, which was taken from the /etc/c1_droid.sh (or something like that). It may be an issue with the video driver though (and because I'm using a HDMI to VGA converter).

There are differences in hardware, so not all might work from You.

Hi Balbes.

Great work, I am now able to successfully boot into Linux, although no WiFi is detected. Keep up the good work.

I have also PM'd you regarding another matter I was wondering if you could give me some help with.

Thank you.

Try to use a dtb file from the image (from a catalog of dtb on the media). This kernel structure has changed, so may not work with old dtb files.

I burn the IMG to an SD card using win32disc

I open up the SD card once burned and remove the 3 x DTB folders

I place a DTB file from the folders above onto the SD card 'previously used libre's HD18Q, DTB file'

I place SD card into mxq and then use a toothpick and apply power

Screen boots MXQ splash screen repeatedly and then stops and nothing happens

You need not remove directories, copy from the directory file "/dtb/meson8b_m201_1G.dtb" to the root of the name "dtb.img". If this dtb file the system does not start, have to take turns to try other files in this directory. Pay attention, you need to use the dtb , the files that are part of the image Armbian (dtb directory on the media where the recorded Armbian). Most likely, the files LE are not suitable for the new version Armbian.

Ok, so iv used the provided dtb files

I renamed each file to 'dtb.img' - Is this correct ?

Iv then used the dtb.img file on the root of the SD card

Thanks
