Summary

Android images for SBCs are sensitive to storage quality and power stability. If you see boot loops or unexplained hangs, treat power and storage as the first suspects before you start changing software.

Requirements

  • Power: stable 5V supply and short cable.
  • Storage: reputable microSD/eMMC media.
  • Optional: serial console for early boot debugging.

Concrete example (ADB on a host)

adb devices
adb logcat | head -n 80

Troubleshooting

  • Boot loop: swap to a known-good SD card and re-flash from a verified download.
  • No display: verify HDMI/cable/monitor input; try headless reachability.
