Cannot boot S905D3-CC V1.1 C

Hello,

I tried multiple images, but no luck. The SD card is brand new, and I still cannot get it to boot at all.

Here is a list of the images I used:

  • ubuntu-22.04.3-preinstalled-base-arm64+aml-s905x-cc.img.xz
  • debian-12-base-arm64+arm64.img.xz
  • debian-12-base-arm64+aml-s905x-cc.img.xz
  • Armbian_25.5.1_Uefi-arm64_bookworm_current_6.12.28_minimal.img.xz

The following is the error

I tried multiple items but no luck, also I use Rufus on Windows for the image creation. This is not my first Libre device, but I don’t know what is happening .

You are running old firmware, please update the board to the latest firmware with EtherealOS which can deploy an OS from the internet as well as self update the firmware.

Second, numerous fs_devread read errors means that the data is corrupt. What MicroSD card are you using? Troubleshooting MicroSD Card Performance and Recommended MicroSD Cards

You can diagnose MicroSD card issues using EtherealOS dmesg logs as well.

Can you please provide any guidance on EtherealOS? As I could not find any link to download the image for Arm64 only Android image. Also, the boot terminal could not access any relevant option as it tried reading the help list, but no luck.

For the SD Card I’m using SanDisk Extreme A2, and this is the first usage.

Thanks in advance.
