Paulie I just read your whole post. and I'm having the same or similar symptoms.
Someone helped me 3 days ago install Manjaro KDE on the Pinebook Pro Emmc. and Manjaro works. but I can not see Tow boot SD when I boot up at all. No text , nothing. and we tried to install SPI directly into the SPI /dev/mtd0 from inside manjaro and that didn't work either. any ideas?
I tried to get help inside live volunteer community chat of Pine64 Pinebook channel (in discord) but no one else has experienced this. We tried a variety of things. All I see is a red power button and dark blue screen with no text.
I am able to boot to Armbian on SD only if I switch off the emmc . otherwise, it boots to manjaro KDE.
