### Problems
If you get nothing but a black screen after booting, copy the `rk3326-r35s-linux.dtb` file from the original SD card's /boot partition that came with your device. Then replace/rename it to `rk3326-r36s-linux.dtb` in the /boot partition of your fresh Arkm8c SD card.

Headphone problems with the R36S? This adapter might solve it:
