June 28Jun 28 I've ran into two issues. The first my board won't boot off the Armbian Debian vendor image. Second it boots off the mainline Debian image, but when I try installing the boot onto the MTD via option 7 in Armbian-install it completes, but I get a solid blue LED and a UART output that hangs on BL31: Preparing for EL3 exit to normal world -> Entry point address = 0x200000 -> SPSR = 0x3c9 then it hangs. Before this I tried manually erasing the SPI and loader and reinstalling them with rkdeveloptool, but this didn't help. I would provide the UART logs, but the server is failing at uploading images. I'm looking to boot off the nvme, but I'm not sure how to resolve this.

June 28Jun 28 Author My fix for what I was trying accomplish, which was to run Armbian Debian with vendor kernel with nvme boot, was to install the mainline kernel change the kernel with Armbian-config and then reinstall with option 2 'Boot from MTD; system on nvme'. Installing with this option to begin with instead of trying to flash the boot loader on MTD after the fact may have been the better choice.
