Total Noob. Need help booting from SD
#3
When you don't need the contents on your eMMC, you can try to find a USB adapter for the eMMC and write a new image to it.

I don't know if Fedora uses a different U-Boot, but that can also be an issue.

I also have experienced the issue that sometimes the micro SD card only boots from a restart, not from cold boot.
But I guess that can also be different dependent on the various U-Boots.

Once Fedora has loaded, try pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL and see if you can reboot.
Perhaps you also need to press the Fn key, as DEL has no dedicated key on the Pinebook Pro and shares the key with Backspace.
Perhaps you will start the micro SD card from that point.

Which distro did you write to the micro SD card?
