I have tried all combinations of the eMMC switch being off or on, the eMMC being in or out, and multiple different microSD images.  However, I know the integrity of my microSD images is perfectly fine.  That's definitely not the issue here.  I've been making images for years.

Thanks, AstroCEO.

If you can share a link to the instructions you were trying to follow. I believe the underlying issue here is that you tried to use a u-boot writing tool that was made for another device.


@tophneal These are the steps I was following.  https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/NOOB#F..._SPI_Flash
