OrangePi Zero 2 no network no display.

As per the title, I can't seem to get my new OrangePi Zero 2 to work. I have written the latest Armbian buster image to a 64gb A1 sdcard, when I power on the green led on the board illuminates as do the leds on the Lan port but nothing happens, ie the device doesn't appear on the network. I bought a micro hdmi converter, which arrived today, to see if there was anything being displayed but that is dead too. Any ideas as to what the issue might be, is the problem that the sdcard too big? I do have a OPi Zero which has run flawlessly, if a little hot, for a good while now.

The Armbian image is in WIP. So far only serial output is working.

Yah, the Debian image takes less resources then Ubuntu in my limited testing.
