I flashed a new version of Manjaro (the plasma mobile edition) and the phone successfully booted. However, it took two attempts to boot using the SD card. On the first boot it managed to complete the initialization of the PMIC, but it locked up when loading the Linux kernel.
On the second attempt, the OS booted and I was able to go through the setup. I then shut it down, removed the SD card and the phone successfully booted from the eMMC. I've restarted twice now. Things seem to be mostly back to normal. However, I see the following error on the serial console when I boot the OS on my eMMC:
Could this indicate that there is a problem with the image on the eMMC?
Then later the following error is displayed:
I'm going to guess that this means that the system on chip ID is not being returned correctly.
The other thing that I find curious is how the particular version of Manjaro that I used kicked the device into life. Having tried a fresh Jumpdrive and PostmarketOS image without success previously.
In any case, the issue seems to be resolved for the moment.
Thank you very much for your advice.
