eMMC frequently not found by Linux kernel (especially on low battery)
#12
Quote:Especially in cases where the PineBook gets stuck some output on the display would be nice. Too bad, progress with u-boot is not fast enough for this to have come to Armbian or Manjaro images yet.

You can get early (initrd) console output if you build a Manjaro image with encryption enabled, this was enabled to show the cryptsetup password prompt correctly. This isn't working yet in Armbian (https://forum.armbian.com/topic/17367-lu...pro-focal/).

Manjaro installer Instructions here: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/manjaro-arm/a...-installer
Background on that early boot work: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9052

I've also been wrestling with the same behaviour of inconsistent eMMC booting when not plugged into the mains power. I'm now going to switch to Manjaro w/ LUKS so I get the console messages early on and see if that sheds any light on the problem day to day. I have noticed over the UART serial console that sometimes the eMMC is just not visible at all.
