02:48 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> Anybody using the lafrite board at all? I’ve tried the armbian image to usb drive and it won’t boot at all. The sbc just keeps rebooting

02:50 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> Also the spi firmware won’t load with the latest.bin (from 2021). Only works with the 2020 version

02:51 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> This board is such a pita to work with

02:58 <Armbian-Discord> <c​0rnelius> I could never think of a reason to get one, so I didn't.

03:07 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> someone gave it to me to try and get pikvm working on it. if I can't even get an os running on the damn board....

03:10 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> glad I didn't pay for it

11:51 <Armbian-Discord> <r​pardini> @srepac I've had very different reports about LaFrite. I had confirmation of it working with both the regular lafrite build and the uefi-arm64 build (via updated UEFI firmware). Maybe you wanna try https://github.com/rpardini/armbian-release/releases/download/20221009b/Armbian_20221009b-rpardini_Lafrite_jammy_edge_5.19.14.img.xz ? (it's on an -rcX build of uboot, and unofficial). Let me know

11:51 <Armbian-Discord> <r​pardini> (or maybe I'm confusing with LePotato @Tonymac32 ? )

13:27 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> I've never had an issue starting an OS on it, however: is it the 512 or the 1 GB one

13:29 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> Mine is a 1 GB. If the CMA memory pool is too large that will keep it from booting. As far as the SPI flash goes I have no idea what's wrong there I've never had issues with that part

19:19 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> I have the 512MB one

19:20 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> This is a pos board

19:22 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/858684386806595584/1028749386706063360/IMG_0850.jpg

21:00 <Armbian-Discord> <c​0rnelius> even looks just like one.

23:03 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> Ok, so Armbian on several occasions broke these boards. As I don't have one I can't say if the images even work. I have a 1GB one and it works fine.

23:04 <Armbian-Discord> <T​onymac32> The 512 is too small IMHO, but is very attractive to 'buy on cost' people.

23:34 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> I would never buy this just because it doesn’t come with a micro sd card connector

23:48 <Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> If I have to take extra effort to burn os, it’s a deal breaker
