My PinePhone will boot from the eMMC, but will not boot from a MicroSD card that boots in another PinePhone.
I asked about this over in the software section, but am wondering if it could be a hardware problem. Here is a link to that post: https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=13703
Before anyone asks, I have the card in the upper slot, I have made sure there is nothing visibly interfering with the card making contact, and I have tried three different cards. All three of the cards will boot in my friends Beta Edition PinePhone, but none of them will boot in my PinePhone.
When I attempt to boot I get a solid red notification LED and the phone never finishes booting.
I just tested booting with a MicroSD installed and no OS on the card. The phone booted to the eMMC as I would expect, and I was able to access the MicroSD card. Would this indicate an issue with the boot loader? If so, how do I re-flash the boot loader?
Thank you for any suggestions.
