Hello, I have T2-OLinuXino-LIME2-e8Gs16M-IND rev. L board and its not booting.
I have downloaded latest buster and focal minimal images from https://images.olimex.com/release/a20/ and write it to sd cards. When I try to boot I get following boot sequence (below). I have also tried multiple sd cards, but still not booting. Could some help me?

Ok, now it work. Looks like that USB_OTG could not power bare board enough so I switched to DC power and now it boot up.

Thanks for update! Yes, LIME2 board's can't be sufficiently powered via the USB, even if you use externally powered USB. Never count on the USB connector for powering the board.
