The u-boot that ships with Manjaro seems to make it impossible to boot certain OSes from either SD or USB, namely the Armbian, Q4OS, Chromium 79 build, and perhaps some more. Attempting to boot those OSes only resulted in a backlight black screen, whereas users who have a different OS installed on their EMMC seem to be able to boot these OSes just fine. See https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...5#pid66515
Do you know what is the reason and how to fix that ?
We are using mainline uboot while most of the other distro are using bsp uboot.
We have a list of distros which have problem in booting. I will share the link and the method to fix it.

Thanks for sharing the link with the workaround. I'm trying to follow the workaround but I'm afraid I'm stuck. I ran into this same issue after installing the KDE image version of 20.04 on my emmc. However, while the instructions on the link above show that Manjaro ARM 20.02+ works, I'm not able to boot from an SD card with images of Manjaro 20.04 XFCE. The workaround instructions say:
Quote:
- On the SD card, open up the root partition and go to /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf.
- Add the following to the APPEND line:
console=ttyS2,1500000 video=eDP-1:1920x1080@60 video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60
- Save the file and put the SD card into the Pinebook Pro and boot.
On the XFCE boot SD card the ROOT partition has a folder named "boot" that is empty. However, the BOOT partition has a folder "extlinux" with a file "extlinux.conf". I assume that is the file I need to edit, and its contents are:
Quote:LABEL Manjaro ARM
KERNEL ../Image
FDT ../dtbs/rockchip/rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb
APPEND initrd=../initramfs-linux.img console=tty1 root=LABEL=ROOT_MNJRO rw rootwait video=eDP-1:1920x1080@60 video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60 bootsplash.bootfile=bootsplash-themes/manjaro/bootsplash
I modified the APPEND line to:
Quote:APPEND initrd=../initramfs-linux.img console=tty1 root=LABEL=ROOT_MNJRO rw rootwait video=eDP-1:1920x1080@60 video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60 bootsplash.bootfile=bootsplash-themes/manjaro/bootsplash console=ttyS2,1500000 video=eDP-1:1920x1080@60 video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60
However, this didn't resolve the issue so I'm guessing I have missed something. Am I editing the wrong file? Or do I have the right file but made the wrong edit?
