Update: I did flash the box image to an SD card after setting the correct dtb file in uEnv.ini, as described in https://wiki.libreelec.tv/hardware/amlogic. Was able to boot as well from the SC card and after the first boot resized the partitions and reboot, the second reboot gave a "Failure: display.service" message on the top left of the LibreELEC boot screen and the proceed to Kodi's (Omega version) logo when it got stuck.
So I pulled the plug out, powered up and booted again, only to land on the same issue above. Since I'm not even able to get to the state of enabling SSH, how can I find out what's going on? Or share logs with anyone here for help?
Can anyone assist with the next steps? chewitt , could you help?
Thanks and cheers.
