When installing for first time on an odroid n2+ SD card, using V7.6 image for system tries to boot and gets an IP address you can see in the console but then it errors out with serverip not set error and it does not continue with the install.

NOTE: It works fine when using an emmc card but not SD card. See attached image for errors.

BTW, this same process works with EMMC. It only fails when using SD Card

What you are seeing is U-Boot trying to boot through network since it wasn't able to find the OS on the SD card. So the root problem is that U-Boot can't seem to read from the SD-card.

If it helps, I have an odroid-n2+, I wrote the 7.6 image to an sd-card, and was able to boot successfully from it. (I do not have an emmc)

This is most likely a hardware issue with the SD Card.

I have the same issue, the SD card is unreadable after the image is installed by etcher (using a direct write to the SD card using a SD-card-reader and also using the N2+ attached via USB) I am able to run other images from the SD card without any problem (I'm currently typing this comment in ubuntu/firefox running on the Odroid N2+)

I fixed/bypassed this issue by installing an older version on the SD card and updating it within Home Assistant itself.
