With current kernel version (4.13) changing display output must be done by recompiling u-boot. This is necessary because kernel supports only SimpleFB. This will change in the future.

How to use Armbian images

Root password is 1234.

The great Armbian documentation is available here: https://docs.armbian.com

Building image

Make sure to take a look at the official Armbian documentation here: https://docs.armbian.com

  • Run builder
 # cd build
 # ./compile

Building requires root access. System preparation can take long, depending on system, etc. After that you should see something like that:

Select Do not change the kernel configuration. All needed configuration should be selected automatically. If you want some kernel modifications, select the other option.

Select olimex-som204-a20.

Armbian-6.png

Select desired distribution. We recommend jessie for server build, and xenial for image with desktop environment.

Select if you want server or desktop.

After build the images and other packages will be in the output folder:

  • Flashing image

Put sdcard in the host PC. New device should appear, e.g. /dev/sdc. Flash the image using the following command: 

 # dd if=Armbian_5.41_Olimex-som204-a20_Debian_jessie_dev_4.15.0.img of=/dev/sdx bs=10M

Replace /dev/sdx with your device. You must use /dev/sdx, not /dev/sdx1!
