Cannot boot

[spaccapietre]

Hi all,

noob here. Hopefully someone could help me out.
I have a T95 Plus, and I followed the first step and disabled the boot from android, but now I'm stuck on trying to get armbian to boot from the SD card.
All the lights come up with a strong white/blue, but I cannot see anything on the HDMI.
I tried to connect to the serial header to see if I could find out more about the issue from there, but I must be doing something wrong as realterm is only spitting out gibberish.

Any help is really appreciated, thank you!

which image did you burn to the SD card? If you burned the Armbian_22.02.0-trunk_T95Plus_bullseye_legacy_4.19.219.img.tar.gz image in the tutorial it will not work because it is missing a boot sector. I had to find the original bullseye image here put the DTB in there for it to boot.
You will need to know how to mount an img on linux, update the content, then unmount the image. Burn to SD card and be good to go

I am trying to find one with a more recent kernel and hopefully wifi support.

Just replace the dtb with the rk3566-box-demo.dtb that I have attached in this post:

Thanks, will give this a go now...I have been struggling with various dtb's for months to get it to work. Most of the time it would boot but then the ethernet port would go up /down continuously. I'll report back what happens

Does this work for the T95 Plus, mine still does not boot
Edit - I also have an X88 Pro 20 - it boots on that one
