Hello, I found the solution (for me) about this issue. I hope it will resolve in armbian community too: Remove data on SPI flash chip sudo su - devicesize=$(blockdev --getsz /dev/mtdblock0) dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=1M count=$devicesize status=progress && sync Download working uboot image wget https://github.com/si0ls/u-boot-orangepi5/releases/download/v1.0/u-boot-v2024.04-orangepi5-plus-spi.bin Write the u-boot file to SPI flash dd if=u-boot-v2024.04-orangepi5-plus-spi.bin of=/dev/mtdblock0 bs=1M status=progress && sync Reboot the system reboot Enjoy!

@rosbeef Could you provide the image for testing?
