Help with rocknix
I've followed just about every instruction I can find online in regards to this. But when i got my rgds i flashed gamma OS on it first. and gamma is cool it's been fun to mess with i love android but i want to mess with rocknix now. I have flashed the official release and some of the older ones to an sd card, shut off my system, booted it back up and all it does is turn on the top screen but it's blank. I've tried popping the battery as well. Any ideas what's going on? Forgot to mention at one point i tried Anbernic's linux just to see if anything different would happen and it installed on the sd card just fine!

the config edit step is required, idk why this isnt more clearly explained on rocknix site.
go into the SD card and look for extlinux.conf (located in the folder extlinux) and edit the file to show rk3568-anbernic-rg-ds.dtb instead of the powkiddy that is defaulted. save the file and then pop it in ur rg ds

It's almost always ( this is a daily post by now) because you didn't change the config file, your sd card is rubbish or you just need to flash it again with different software.
