Has this been happening since you received your board?
I just deleted the archived post messages the day before you replied, ahhh! The only clue via serial is the last message on the screen before rebooting about booting Linux kernel something. This behavior was consistent.
It is odd because both NetBSD and FreeBSD boot flawlessly so I've been using FreeBSD on it. I tried different microSD cards, different eMMC modules (from Pine64), booting with all peripherals removed, using different keyboards, mice, HDMI cable, different monitors, Ethernet plug removed, various versions of the software linked in this thread (including verifying sha sum), various other computers to write the software to microSD/eMMC, various writing methods (dd, balena etcher), even removing the serial connection. Same result. I haven't thought to check the memory performance until now.
You answered my question above about board versions so next paycheck I plan on getting a PineDio, but have been able to follow the tutorial using the USB-LoRa adapter on one of my RockPro64s.
As far as hardware quirks sometimes things are the way they are. The board is still usable for tinkering just not as originally planned.
Edit: Somehow added the quote multiple times, now removed.
Quartz64, RockPro64, PinePhone Mobian, PineBook Pro, PineTime, and all the trimmings that make FOSS fun.
