No boot-up . Initializing SDRAM fail .
#1
I have a P2Gb Pine, but havent been able to boot it up yet. 
I have tried different images ( Armbian, Android 5 and 7) on different SD cards ( all SanDisk Ultra 16Gb).
Power supply is 5.1V with 2.5A.
The green led lights up when power is on but nothing else happens. 
Hopped up Serial/UART converter and the log I get is the following:

HELLO! BOOT0 is starting!
boot0 commit : 045061a8bb2580cb3fa02e301f52a015040c158f

rtc[4] value = 0x00000000
rtc[5] value = 0x00000000

DRAM clk = 672 MHz
DRAM zq value: 003b3bdd
DRAM error status 0
DRAM init error!
initializing SDRAM Fail.


Just wondering if there is something I can do or is this a faulty board.

Ive seen some other posts with pretty much the same symptoms and the same log but havent seen any answers or what has solved the problem. 
Ive also put in a ticket with Pine but havent heard back from them. 
Starting to be a bit disappointed , not with the board so much, mistakes happen and faulty boards do get sent out even with the best manufacturers, but more so with the client relations and help availabe for the board. 

If anyone could point me to the right direction of what could be wrong, Id be very grateful.
