Thanks @wdt & @KC9UDX
Appreciate your suggestions & kindness. Also, It is good to know that some folks haven’t experienced much difficulty with PBP.
I’ll keep working on PBP & really hope to get it going. When I do get it going, I’ll post in here, again.
For now, let’s close this somewhat lengthy thread.
Thanks again

Hello,
I still cannot boot into this beautiful laptop. Black screen.
Red light when charging it.
I could continue to try to get-it-going. Unsure what to do.
Thanks

I would start anew, presuming your SPI ROM is still empty. Remove the eMMC module. Get some bootable images for micro-SD card and see which one works. For sure NetBSD and DietPi do. There are others but I don't know which. Once you find one that works, next get whichever one you would like to use and try that.
:wq
