PBP won't boot (no amber or green LED)
#32
>I discovered that I was trying to flash my PBP w/the wrong image
usually a flash goes on emmc, you have to do something __special__ to flash SPI
Is this the case? (rkdeveloptool is mostly for a bad SPI uboot flash)
Have you tried booting with emmc removed? (or disabled)
--more--
If you flash a distro for a wrong architecture Then the uboot will be BADLY wrong
Since uboot goes in the the 1st few megs, it probably got written (& likely to the emmc)
Since the PBP has a battery somehow it can remember the bad code, even if the media is removed
I have done this, mid last year, a a64 distro
It appeared dead, no matter what I did
By luck, I tried holding pwr a long time (20+ seconds,, press hard, don't let up)
It was back to normal, as if nothing had happened
Since, I have had to do this 7-8 times (obviously the 'bad' uboot MUST be removed first)
