If anyone asks why I prefer to work with Raspberry Pis when I want to tinker on a random project, consider:

I just spent the past hour with a brand new ArmSoM Sige7 board. This has been on the market for months, with some glowing reviews...

And it took about 30 minutes before I could get it to boot (20 to find an image that would flash properly and at least *start* booting). Then 20 to try getting logged in. And the last 10 trying to set up a forum account to ask for the default user/pass!

@geerlingguy Google found this:

The default account/password for the official image is armsom/armsom, linaro/linaro, root/1234.

https://docs.armsom.org/aim-family-started under "1. Obtaining the System Image"

Hope it helps.

Here’s the translation:

@PHolder According to the docs and forum posts, yes. However, trying all of those on the Ubuntu 22.04 server image I noted in the GitHub issue... none work.

I tried Debian 11 and Ubuntu 22.04 desktop, none of those images would work to boot the board though (the 22.04 desktop image was corrupt—wouldn't even write to a card with Etcher!).

@geerlingguy Yikes. Okay, sorry to have wasted your time. I guess this product and provider have not got their ducks in a row. You'd think, by now, that they'd learn there is more to an ecosystem than just s**ting out hardware.
@PHolder indeed :(

@geerlingguy

Is there no way to boot single-user mode on these things and set your own password?
