Sept 2020 build doesn't work

Products Support TB-96AIoT
#1

There seems to be something wrong with the Sept 2020 prebuilt image, TB-96AIoT-images-npu1.3.2-20200923. It doesn’t appear to boot and the CPU uart output shows the following:

Can anyone advise? Thanks.

(By the way, is this another Android build? Looking for a more ‘stock’ linux ideally, e.g. debian or something)

If you need a ‘pure’ GNU/Linux distro, you may want to try building your system from source with buildroot: Build Buildroot Linux Source for TB-96AIoT - 96Boards

#3

Thanks Loic, that probably is the plan eventually, but was hoping to get it working with the prebuilt first to find my feet so to speak. Haven’t built Linux from source before so I can’t imagine it will go well if I can’t even understand why this one isn’t working :).
