I went so far as to trying to set up a dev environment in Ubuntu to communicate directly with the Rock64 via USB....but I got nowhere.
On the raspberry pi header, link pin 20 to 21. In other words, connect pin 21 to ground. If you have corrupted the SPI Flash bootloader, this will let you boot from the microSD card again. If you boot from eMMC, this will not be needed, as eMMC has the highest boot priority (eMMC -> SPI Flash -> SD).
If you are then able to boot your rock64 again, you can either erase the flash and forget about this, or write the flash bootloader again, and hopefully write it properly this time.
How recently did you try this? I've had problems with images made in the last two weeks..., so won't use anything newer than 0.6.27.
Thanks for the info! I'll give it a shot. It's been a long time since my Rock64 worked....late February? I was foolishly trying to roll an Armbian-Jessie build for myself....and anyhow...I have a habit of messing tech-related things up lately....just spent more than a few hours building a full Debian Jessie Desktop for the Odroid XU4...using very detailed instructions...and a nap in between..heh....only to find out that I could log in....but when I created my root password.....I somehow typed it incorrectly.....twice!!! omg...they have to make idiot proof systems....more idiot proof...LOL. No clue about grounding pins, but I'll look around....
Thank again!
