I have followed the steps to install Linux on the HIkey 960 board using the following link.

I get the following error message in the serial console output.

Any kind of help is appreciated.

This was posted under the HiKey section. I would suggest bring this topic over to the HiKey960 section:

Also, there should be new instructions for HiKey960 Linux installation here:

Hope this help!
