Can't boot from microSD card

Hello,

I recently bought a ROCK960 Model C, then I followed the steps of the installation guide and when I plug the power adaptor a green light is turned on but nothing is shown on my monitor.

I tried with two microSD of different brands with the same result.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Maybe your HDMI cable is broken.

The HDMI cable is working properly on other devices.

ROCK960c needs different firmware(LPDDR4 vs. LPDDR3, some USB differences), please download and test this one:

We will update the documents…

Now it works correctly, thanks!

Although in the file name it says Debian Stretch but it really corresponds to ubuntu 16.04.
