U-Boot with direct NVMe boot support for eMMC/SPI Flash

[mamboman777]

Well, I appear to be soft bricked.  I downloaded, extracted, rand the build file and moved to a usb.  I plugged the usb into my PBP, copied the files over, then navigated to the folder with spiflash.bin in it and ran "sudo dd if=spiflash.bin of=/dev/mtd0" which appeared to run successfully.  I then clicked reboot.  The machine will not respond now.  I'm not getting any sort of light when I press the power button.  The charge light on the side is the only light I'm getting.  What can I do next to troubleshoot this?  I've tried pressing the reset button.

Go to the bottom of this wiki page and follow those instructions to zero out the SPI: https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/Pinebook_Pro_SPI

It may also be worth retrying using the instructions for writing to SPI that are given on that wiki page.

Thank you for your help.  I currently cannot get rkdeveloptool to install on my Manjaro x86 machine.  Below is the code.  I've tried directly in the terminal and through the package manager using the AUR.  It looks like --disable-werror is creating problems.  Any ideas here?
