Libre Renegade Issues (ROC-RK3328-CC)

[Schyler Rippie]

Hello LTT Forums,

 

I purchased a Libre Renegade recently and have been trying to get Ubuntu running on it. Currently I have a freshly flashed 64 GB Sandisk SD card, a 5V---2.5 amp power supply, and absolutely no signal coming from the device. I have tried a bag of different OS options, flashing softwares, and methods of pulling out my hair. I am about four more attempts away from being bald. Currently the two lights (one green and one red) are on. Neither light blinks to show any kind of status. It has never sent an HDMI signal to my monitor. Does anyone have an idea on what to do here? Am I crazy for not just forking over a scalped fortune for a Raspberry PI?

 

My future goal is to have this be a Steam Remote play client for my living room TV.

Update, I swapped over to Armbian and got it working! Woohoo! But I still have no idea why.
