I wouldn’t characterize it like that. I think imx8mq is a fine platform. It was my main compter for 2 years before I switched to A311D which is what I’m typing this on right now.
That is missing fdt or fdtdir and that’s why it cannot boot using extlinux.conf. Since you ran reform-display-config do you have a /etc/u-boot-menu/conf.d/reform.conf and if yes, what does it contain?
Whoops. Is this the same error you got in Sway high CPU utilization and screen corruption and can you confirm that you have this in your dmesg output:
modprobe@drm.service - Load Kernel Module drm was skipped because of an unmet condition check (ConditionKernelModuleLoaded=!drm).
Lets have a look. ![]()
EDIT: From the other thread
Maybe lets fix your extlinux.conf first. Maybe this fixes the other problem.
