[split] U-Boot with NVMe support, keyboard & display working
#2
Actually, I'd put the builtin USB keyboard at a higher priority than the eDP.

With USB keyboard support, (builtin and or external), we can setup a sequence of events at boot:
  • Pause & blink LED, (which one?), for a short time, (5 seconds?). Perhaps power LED, alternating red & green.
  • During this time, accept keyboard input
  • Select boot device of:
    1. USB
    2. MicroSD card
    3. NVMe
    4. eMMC
With this, we can leave an SD card installed, and over-ride booting to it.

Or even allow re-arranging the default boot order to be fastest first, since we can select something else if needed.
  1. NVMe
  2. eMMC
  3. MicroSD card
  4. USB
