When you say your RockPro64 is DOA, when you apply power is there any activity at all. I'm using my board booting off Armbian Focal 5.10 kernel via an SD card. I've a beefy 12v 5a power supply attached, sourced elsewhere to avoid under voltage issues. Have you tried an alternative power supply just to rule that issue out. Keep the board as stripped down as possible before you attempt to boot it.

Hi,

There was no activity at all when I wrote an eMMC image and tried to boot from it, but a friend managed to get it to boot Debian Buster from an SD card: I was expecting to see Uboot output from the UART on the serial lines, when booting from the eMMC but there was nothing. We are now trying to reflash the SPI to run Uboot from there. Seems it's not DOA after all, but it was not clear to me that I would have to boot from an SD card even if I had created an eMMC image. Seems that, by default, the ROCKPro64 will not boot from eMMC.

Thanks,

  Tony.

I didn't think so. The SD card route is usually the best route when testing these boards. I've a number of Rock64 boards as well as this RockPro64 board that were junked. I picked them up at a very reasonable price and used Armbian on an SD card. They all booted fine. From there you can test different distros or different boot mediums once you've ruled out hardware problems. Nothing worse than owning an electrical door stop or bookend. Glad you got things resolved.
