Edge2 stuck on boot

Edge2 Ubuntu
#1

Which version of system do you use? Khadas official images, self built images, or others?

edge2-ubuntu-22.04-server-linux-5.10-fenix-1.4-221229.img.xz

Please describe your issue below:

After flashing this image, the Edge2 doesn’t boot. It shows the Khadas logo, flashes to black briefly and then show the Khadas logo again, where it stays forever. No spinning wheel with the Ubuntu logo next to it as usual from the VIM3 images I’ve been flashing.

I tried several times on two different Edge2 devices, all with the same result.

When flashing edge2-ubuntu-22.04-server-linux-5.4-fenix-1.2-221018.img.xz, I get the same result.

I’ve even tried -gnome- images with the same result.

Update: I figured the device isn’t really stuck at boot - it’s just the Khadas logo never disappears, so I can’t login to the console. The same is true after installing X. Other than the display, the device appears to behave normal: I can ssh into it, install packages, start services etc.

BTW: Your leaflet is wrong: It says you have to press FUN + PWR to boot into OOWOW, but it’s actually FUN + RST, just like with the VIM devices. Also, I had to repeat this before it would actually boot into OOWOW. I’m running the beta version 221019.

Try plugging the power into the other type C port.

Thanks. Unfortunately, it’s the same result.

I have the same issue with the VIM4 - see my post in the other board. This is a showstopper for us: We run a media player on the devices, so we need the HDMI to work.

Most important is to insure you have MINIMUM 24W power adaptor, I banged my head against the wall trying to figure it out and simply finding the right power adaptor (30W/2A) and high quality USB-C solved all the problems. Seems to be quite common issue on this forum.
