You don’t have many option, debian isn’t really what I want since I never used it and never will.
I want to create a SD boot disk for now and eventually use either the internal flash or sata.
I am rather baffled with this nonsense, I’ve been using Linux for years but never encounter a board like this.
I have a lot of boards from different manufacturers, never had any issue creating Funtoo, Gentoo, Slackware, SuSE, Redhat Fedora or ArchLinux
I’v tried bunch of stuff for the past year and am about to through this thing in the garbage. Tell me if there is a way to fix this. I hate the stupid crap that is called android that is on it.
I have the X1 board where I had no problem installing arch linux.
On this one I want to have either gentoo or slackware but I find no instruction on how to create a bootable disk
Usually like with Odroid when I can’t find a way to boot I take one of their image and use their kernel and u-boot and replace the rootfs with mine. This doesn’t appear to be possible with this one. Your image has no filesystem thus is unusable.
What I need to know is where I copy u-boot and what I put on the boot partition to boot on the rootfs?

As this product belongs to the arm development board kit, it requires some technical skills.
You can refer to these two tutorials to complete the rootfs replacement.
Main steps
- Extract your rootfs
- Mount your rootfs to the development environment, adjust the rootfs, and recompile.
- Re-burn the rootfs to the device.
Thanks, that should help. I am trying to learn Mandarin but that will take a while. Your writing is much different than French or English. I will need my IPhone and google translate since most of it is in Chinese.
How does the LubanCat board and SDK differentiate from the YY3568?
How different are the u-boot and kernel of the YY3568 compared to the ones from Radxa Rock that use a RK3568?
I see that there is support for the RK3568 in the latest kernel so once I have a working boot for this board
Once it is all done I will have detailed documentation on the gentoo wiki for the gentoo version as I have done for BeaglePlay. After Gentoo I want to do slackware which is the first Linux I used when Linux just came out.
I am a retired Engineer, worked in the industry for the past 50 years
This should help selling these boards in the USA
I have one last question, why a program to flash to the board? Isn’t dd good enough? I’ve never used anything else on Linux or Mac
I ran the build script to see what it generates.
I ran it with docker because it fails compiling on gentoo
It generates image called update.img
When I load it with gdisk or fdisk it doesn’t show any partition just like the official image I downloaded.
If I dd that on a micro SD and try to mount it, it won’t mount because there are no partition.
What am I missing?

oooh
Dear developer, maybe you can discuss more with this armbian developer.
They are the ones who will be at the forefront and develop the latest features.
But we are the ones who provide the product and will tend to stabilize the kernel and features.
This will take time to test. That’s why we’re always cautious about new things.
I suggest you to discuss with them. And they use English, the communication between you may be smoother.
Let us know what you think. Thank you.
Thanks, I will check this out.
