Pinebook Pro won't turn on after flashing image
#2
>Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-generic
generic? ?? There is no such thing in the ARM world, at least with respect to uboot
Every different cpu family has a different uboot layout, and there are more than a dozen familys,
and some are 32bit and some 64 bit
Do not confuse pinebook with pinebookpro, different cpus
Maybe it doesn't have a uboot in the first bit and ONLY the OS ??? (+ maybe a separate boot partition ??)
---
Anyway, take off back, disable emmc with switch near hinge line,
find a SD that boots OK, then do the switch dance,, lsblk to see if successful and what emmc is
ie /dev/mmcblkX,, what is X (emmc device has also boot0, boot1 on it, ignore them)
Then (as root) dd /dev/zero to first 32M of emmc (bs=1M count=32)
Then, effectively the emmc will be blank
Why 32M ?? So 1st partition start is also blanked, manjaro starts 1st part at 62500 sectors
(switch dance, make sure powered off, press pwr button 1s, 2s later flip emmc switch to enable)
If it doesn't work, force hard poweroff, press and hold pwr ~8s
