Yet another Pinebook Pro won't boot thread
#2
I also managed to brick my pinebook pro.  Blank display no LED

After much futzing around I got tow-boot installed to the SPI.

I used the usb adapter to dd  fresh copy of  Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-generic-23.02.img.xz to the emc card.

I boot from the emc the LED goes green  and I can see image load then the screen flashes a green blocky display with a grey bar at the top for a second or so then nothing it goes blank.

I rewrote a backup  copy of the working SD card image to a  sd card same thing green display then blank.
I used dd to write  a copy of Manjaro-ARM-kde-plasma-generic-23.02.img.xz to a usb drive same result.

So what step did I miss?

Short update armbian 23.02 appears to boot from usb.
