I just tried with;<br>Machine: 2017 Khadas VIM1 Amlogic S905X<br>and all I got was 8 period characters top left of display,<br>so I suppose the situation is absolutely catastrophic.

Peace be with us.<br>I will try again with a contemporary u-boot bios from johang, although there's nowt wrong with this old bios from hyphop.<br>salva mea has contemporaneously fixed the programs ifconfig & route,<br>otherwise we wouldn't be here.<br>AT YOUR SERVICE.

For the record, I have tried combinations of clk_ignore_unused pd_ignore_unused efi=novamap regulator_ignore_unused, nothing, that's about my ability.

Trixie RC2, same, fail.
