Frustrated with my R6S: How do I get a custom image working?

[helennobles]

Hello,
I followed the instructions on the FriendlyElec Wiki trying to get either Fedora IoT or AlmaLinux installed on my NanoPi R6S, but I am not having much luck. Everything seems to install, that is the flasher goes through the process of installing the identified image, but after removing the SD card and rebooting, nothing happens after the FriendlyElec splash screen. Has anyone gotten a Fedora/RHEL adjacent distro working on a NanoPi? I very much prefer them and have them on all of my machines that are not MacOS; my RPi is running AlmaLinux 9.3 and everything else is Fedora 39 of some

Hi,
I was able to install a custom image, with my own configuration on the EMMC. And it was booting.
Unfortunately, it bricked my board and i am now not able to access the EMMC anymore.
So make sure you get the image and its properties correct. Also try using the elfasher tool, which will install the custom OS from SD Card. if you have not tried it.
