HoneyComb: Boot Authentication failure

Hi All,

HoneyComb LX2k Rev A09: Error

I attempted to boot using the Micro SD card with the image lx2160a_rev2_cex7_honeycomb_2000_700_2900_18_5_2-fd60614.img. I was able to log in to the BusyBox Distro. However, my goal is to install a full Ubuntu ARM or Fedora OS.

Unfortunately, I’m encountering the following error and am unable to proceed:

I know we were working on this on the discord channel. Are you all set with this issue now?

Yes. This issue is resolved via discussion on Discord. Got Proper image from jnettlet and using correct commands. I faced other issues as well. Got support from jnettlet

sudo dd if=lx2160acex7_2000_700_2900_8_5_2_sd_ee5c233.img of=/dev/sdc bs=4M status=progress

I was using wrong command. Above is correct one
