Anybody have ODROID-C2 working, mine won't boot

[aroberts]

I've tried the latest and previous odroid-c2 bundles and have had no joy with either:
md5sum A*odroid*.gz
0a83b1b3f02c0be59446b3e7605466c0 ArchLinuxARM-odroid-c2-latest-old.tar.gz
1ee66f2d15718d80493588187aebb4b3 ArchLinuxARM-odroid-c2-latest.tar.gz

I'm happy my card writing setup is ok, as I've managed to get Arch on PI/PI3 fine.
I've also had Ubuntu on the odroid-c2 using the hard kernel image.

With Arch on the odroid C2 I just get the Blue light on solid, it never properly boots.

I'm using an SD Card rather than eMMC (32Gb Sandisk Ultra class 10/UHS-1).
The same card works with the Ubuntu image.

Does anybody have it working with an SD Card?

Thanks

I have compared the bl1.bin.hardkernel and u-boot.bin images with what is written to the sd card and they are fine.
I wonder if the default starting sector for the 1st partition is the issue, could somebody please post an fdisk -l from a working system.
Here's what I have:
fdisk -l /dev/sdd

Disk /dev/sdd: 31.1 GB, 31104958464 bytes, 60751872 sectors
Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk label type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x8a790000

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdd1 2048 60751871 30374912 83 Linux

And the filesystem looks fine:
fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sdd1
e2fsck 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
/dev/sdd1: 30415/1900544 files (0.4% non-contiguous), 318868/7593728 blocks

So I don't think the writing of the card is the issue.

Thanks

I have tested C2 both with the emmc module and an SD card and I confirm that in both cases it works fine.

SOLVED:

I was writing the card from CentOS 7 Linux Using:
mke2fs 1.42.9 (28-Dec-2013)

I moved the same card reader and card to my Raspberry Pi running Arch Linux using
mke2fs 1.42.13 (17-May 2015)

and it worked fine.

So use Arch to write the card if possible, or at least a more up to date distribution
