this has gotten weird. I flashed manjaro to the SD card, and it boots, but seems to hang on the manjaro splash screen. I gave it a ctrl+alt+del, and it rebooted... into the ayufan-rock64 install on the emmc. Confirmed that was the /boot device with `mount`.
TIL that pinebook will mix and match boot devices. I guess it gets u-boot off the Manjaro SDcard, then warm reboot has it restart the "boot order" search and it finds the boot partitions on emmc. And previously, when I thought I was booting from the sdcard, it was really getting uboot from emmc and then loading boot partitions from the sdcard (the reverse of what's happening now).
I tried using fdisk and dd to copy the /boot partition from the manjaro SD card to the ayurfan emmc, but that gets me back to "no leds". I also tried ayurfan's pinebookpro LXD image, and that got me uboot (LED lights green) but no further (can't find boot partition).
So the only image I have with working uboot seems to be manjaro. I'm going to try installing it to emmc, then using fdisk to manually overwrite root.
