Yet another Pinebook Pro won't boot thread

[andersonas25]

After configuring Armbian on the NVME and the Sdcard I formatted the emc with a ext4 partition just to verify it basically worked.  I then dd'ed a new Manjaro .img file to the emc and this time it booted fine.  So my guess was the graphics was in a weird state that Manjaro could not handle on its initial boot and Armbian sorted it out??
