I disabled the splash image so I could see what was happening - see attached. It couldn't find the boot device, even though it's there. I'm currently using tow-boot flashed to SPI (also works great). I know it gets to the eMMC (I changed the armbianEnv.txt file to point to /dev/mmcblk2p1 and it complained about that too, so I know it's reading the /boot directory).
I am not so sure about using tow-boot in concert with Armbian. The canonical way (in Armbian) would have been to use the nand-sata-install tool[0], either directly, or from armbian-config, in order to install to eMMC from sd card. As this process may (often does) differ between hardware.
But now, with tow-boot on SPI, this may complicate things.
[0] An unfortunate historical name which has now stuck, but it does flash to many different media, including eMMC.
Thanks for the reply. Tried using Armbian's install script as suggested. Same error. I even tried erasing the SPI, but apparently there wasn't a usable u-boot on the eMMC, so now I can't boot anything - I'll have to open up the machine and disable the eMMC ...
