PBP disappointment

[fenyo]

emmc is just like SD, faster, 2x wider bus, contains same as SD
Somewhere, there MUST be a working (idbloader,uboot,ATF,, last 2 may be combined)
AND a working OS,, maybe uboot turns on leds, varies amongst uboots
(with no uboot, computer will appear dead, but I've said this before)

>I couldn't find any info on it.
None of the above
Because there is a battery, can remember a "fucked up" situation between power-offs
Even if all media is changed, so must be in cpu???
reset, and I think, extra long press is a hard reset, gets rid of bad data (memory timing???)
Used when there is a "hard lockup" appears dead, only led is red chg led, no others ever
(if booted, bad video, caps lock, num lock work,, toggle appropriate led)
From a bad uboot or perhaps wrong dtb,
for me, 1st time put an a64 SD in, obviously did not/would not boot
Shit, I've bricked it.... much hair later, lucked out, extra long press
(and 1st time, pressed 17s, didn't work, tried again, LONGER, worked)
I think I have had to do this 8 times, but I  experiment
(and my pbp is a virgin)


I looked what was on the SD card I etched before and EVERYTHING was erased, except one file. PERHAPS, that is what the “Reset” button does.


I etched Manjaro again and these are the MAIN directories
MANJARO_KDE-201
boot
efi
manjaro


“manjaro” directory has a sub directory named “x86_64”
The “MANJARO_KDE_201” directory also has the “boot.catalog” and “efi.img” files.
The “boot” directory has the “grub” directory, “amd_ucode.img”, “amd_ucode.LICENSE”, “initramfs-86_64.img”, “intel_ucode.LICENSE”, “memtest”, “memtest.COPYING” and “vmlinuz-x86_64” files.
The “efi” directory has the “boot” directory, which has the file with the name “bootx64.efi”.


The machine always goes to emmc or if SD card is plugged in and emmc switch is switched, dead as a doornail.


Is your file system the same as mine?
Thanks
