Still on Manjaro, right?

Sounds like the mainline uboot issue I also had.

It will boot occasionally (maybe once in 10 tries). If so make sure you update and switch to the BSP uboot (search this forum or the Manjaro one, it's a bit more complicated, but not super difficult).

At least for me it boots with the BSP uboot consistently now.

Maybe the issue has also been fixed now without the BSP uboot. I didn't try to switch back.
