PBP won’t boot from eMMC after Debian update / Tow-Boot installer won’t boot from SD
#6
it may not. towboot is certainly best used on the SPI. it's not exactly a recovery tool, more like a more user-friendly bootloader option. i also had a rough start getting my towboot install SDs to boot. Surprisingly i had to use a class 4 sd card to get it to boot and install for me.

my first guess would be to replace/write the uboot from the debian 11 repos to the emmc (could be a newer kernel not playing well with an older uboot.) if this is the issue, towboot could help you if installed to the SPI. the PBP will find it before the uboot on the emmc and use towboot to start up the OS.
