Now there's also an option to use mainline U-Boot (v2020.07) with reference ARM Trusted Firmware, no need to use Rockchip blobs anymore.
You can build it yourself using this repository and flash the image as usual (flash_erase + dd works for Manjaro):
https://github.com/pcm720/u-boot-build-scripts
The build script uses patches from dhivael, sigmaris and Manjaro.
v2020.07 binaries for SD/eMMC and SPI Flash are available as well, you can find them on Releases page of the repo.
The resulting SPI image works on my PBP and boots from NVMe just fine.
Boot priority is SD -> eMMC -> NVMe -> USB, and there's no need to destroy U-Boot on SD card anymore.

I am today years old when I realized ARM doesn't function with a BIOS like x86 so I'm trying to figure this all out. Jumped the gun and got an NVME and adapter, so trying to find a way to boot off of it. I still have the stock Manjaro that came with the PBP but I might want to switch over to a debian base just because that's what I've used in the past.
Anyway, I see your update here from August, but when I try clone this repo and try to run the build.sh, it keeps asking me to set my account's default identity on git. So i do that and then it tells me this:

Appreciate the help and patience
