PinePhone won't boot, U-Boot seems to be broken
#6
I tried booting the device using the latest Jumpdrive image. It appears to hang while initializing the ARM trusted firmware, or immediately after:

Code:
Trying to boot from MMC1
NOTICE:  BL31: v2.2(release):v2.2-904-gf9ea3a629
NOTICE:  BL31: Built : 15:32:12, Apr  9 2020
NOTICE:  BL31: Detected Allwinner A64/H64/R18 SoC (1689)
NOTICE:  BL31: Found U-Boot DTB at 0x4064410, model: PinePhone

What's curious is that the LED does not turn on when I use the Jumpdrive image as it does when I tried to boot Manjaro. I can't remember if that's normal (i.e. the last time I used Jumpdrive to flash the eMMC).

This problem has be a bit stumped, if I can't get passed U-Boot, I may not be able to fix U-Boot (assuming the problem is with the boot loader and not the PMIC).

Thanks,
M
