#EDIT: I flashed the img but it’s not working at all!

hi,
where is no risk to flash a image to the board,.
oh, did the kernel run ? find any rootfs? you can get some information in serial debug :

No it did not. I also tried the old Arch Linux guide based on RK3388 but it’s the same game.. meaning it’s not working at all.

I am also trying to install arch linux arm. I have followed the instructions at http://wiki.t-firefly.com/index.php/Firefly-RK3399/Build_Ubuntu_rfs/en but don’t know where to go from here.

Arch linux can be booted with kernels 5.3 and 5.4. For SD boot you need to create usual rootfs, but you need to change firefly dtb before you can boot: this patch allows you not to stuck at boot, also you will need to set

status="okay"

in hdmi_sound node if you want to have sound. Finally, to make boot process faster than 2 minutes, see Manjaro kernel patch for rk3399
If you want to see boot log via serial console, add following to your kernel command line:

console=ttyS2,1500000n8 earlycon=uart8250,mmio32,0xff1a0000

(there is no ttyFIQ0 in mainline kernel)
