dd if=/boot/u-boot.itb of=/dev/mmcblk2 seek=16384
the LED light dont turn on, and the device want start.
have anyone som tips or triks for this? (i miss my PBP!)
Was your Arch install from scratch? There's an Arch image that already has uboot included.
What was your battery level at before you shutdown? No signs of life is typically an indication that the battery was drained too far. (Just plug it into the barrel charger overnight.)
Also, your PBP can't brick (yay!) Try grabbing a live boot img and write it to SD. Pop it in and boot it up. If it is a borked uboot, remove the back cover, disable the emmc with the switch, and retry booting your SD.
