irrelevant because kernel 4.4 works
you could eventually erase the spi with the ayufan spi or sigmaris erase image.
I erased the spi and get the same result trying to boot from eMMC.
As expected booting from USB doesn't work anymore either.
reflashed the spi and:
- boot from eMMC fails again
- boot from USB works
Last try, after i am stuck (but I am really pessimistic):
- launch armbian kernel 4.4 which is working
- copy u-boot to spi :
launch armbian-config
in menu : system > hardware > Install > Install/update the bootloader on spi flash
In this case the board will use the 4.4 bootloader since it is in written in the spi and then boot the 5.x kernel
An other try is to use the ayufan u-boot if the problem comes from the bootloader
my board version is v2.1 2018-07-02 which is newer than yours
You also may try with nvme if you have one (usb works, perhaps nvme also works). The ssd nvme speed is higher than emmc speed. But ssd nvme 256G is around 30$-40$ and the pcie adapter card is around 10$ ... and is is not sure it will work ! I tried samsung evo, and pny xlr8 they work well with the pine64 pcie adapter. I am not sure it worth trying.
