Broken Boot

[djhnsn]

you couldn't have "deleted" the contents of SPI without actively trying to. the SPI is also empty until you write to it. Standard installs/image for the PBP place their uboots on the emmc/sd, within their /boot.

What images have you tried so far? What brand/speed are the SD cards you're using? Did you also check to make sure that your nvme drive has low enough power requirements and power saving settings to work well within the PBP? Some can appear to work well until there's a load put on them, and then this same kind of thing happens until you remove the drive.

I have tried armbian, the factory manjaro image, and twister os. I have tried using lexar a1 u3, sandisk extreme pro iirc a2 u3, as well as an old class 10 sandisk. 

These all worked from micro sd before I formatted the emmc. I have tried booting from micro sd with the emmc and nvme completley removed. 

I have an emmc to usb adapter on the way from amazon. It should be here tomorrow. I also have the uart cable from pine64, but I don't think I am to the point of trying to get that all working. I will flash an image directly to the emmc when I get the adapter.
