I see this has been solved but maybe it is helpful for others if I share my experience of the last days....

- had Manjaro KDE first and then later Manjaro Gnome running on my PBP, wanted to change desktop due to bad performance with Gnome and somewhat weird booting behaviour

- ran into a lot, really lot of trouble with these U-Boot hassle (u-boot, idbloader, trust) and repeatedly not working, at last not even booting and needed Reset directly on the the board

- was so close to kick the PBP into the trash bin

- but then wanted to give Armbian a chance 

- downloaded the version for PBP, version current, with Cinnamon. Unpacked, flashed to a SD card (with dd, no etcher ..), inserted into PBP, start: success!! System on SD booted at first step, ran into initial config, set up wifi: amazing!

- after half an hour enjoying this rescue of my PBP, I wanted to try to flash onto the emmc...

- after quickly finding out, that - other than the armbian doc tells - it's not via "armbian-install" on the command line, but via "armbian-config" in the menu. Chose "System on eMMC, Boot from eMMC"option. Started, it worked through and

- voila! Booting and running from emmc on first shot!!

- So easy can life be! I am really happy and thankful to Armbian, I am an Armbian fan now    😀
