Again thank you so much for your replies!!
Got myself another SD card which is faster with more memory. At first, I flashed chromium again, this time it gave a green light, yet it doesn't boot up after half a minute.
I then decided to flash manjaro on this new SD card. And this time, it actually started booting, yet it fails and gives this error:
EXT4-fs error (device mmcxxxxx): ext4_journal_check_start:83: Detected aborted journal
EXT4-fs (mmcxxxxx): Remounting filesystem read-only
So this seems to be related to the actual emmc. Could be wrong tho
Not sure what I'm supposed to do here. First flash the idbloader.img, then the uboot.img and the nthe trust.img to the sd card and run a few commands when booted?
@wdt Thanks for your reply! I've executed exactly what you mentioned yet there doesn't seem to be any difference in behaviour. It turns on, shows the orange power light, and nothing.

Have you verified that the SD you're using is fast enough, or has no errors? It could be a bunk card for the high speeds required to run an OS from an SD card.

Yes, more specifically, you want the idbloader.img, uboot.img, and trust.img files from here: https://github.com/mrfixit2001/updates_r...filesystem
If you look in the update script in that repo, you'll find the commands needed to write those uboot files to your emmc.

You're correct here, booting an OS should not overwrite/erase your emmc (unless your booting an emmc installer img.)Exactly, booting from the eMMC seems broken as well. I only used the chromium image mentioned on the pine wiki, which is not an emmc installer as far as I know.
