I thought some stupidity on my side for a while: At some point the PROJECT=Allwinner ARCH=arm DEVICE=H3 UBOOT_SYSTEM="orangepi-pc" make image doesn't generate bootable sd card images any more. I was just using some previously written card with an older image and just exchanged the KERNEL and SYSTEM with the newly compiled one (on the first partition). Which works without any problems. Only problem: It is quite tedious (slow) to clone a card to get a fresh booting version that way. Diffing the scripts/(mk)image files there are some changes ... but they do not look very dramatic to me. Any ideas? Thank you!

If swapping newer KERNEL/SYSTEM to older SD card works the issue is related to u-boot which is installed to the SD card, and the card has an old version; a newly created card has a newer (non-working) version.

I unfortunately don't have OrangePi PC to test this. I checked OrangePi Plus2E, but everything works fine. Can you connect serial console and see what, if anything, is outputed during boot with non-working U-Boot?

I confirm that with any of the following images, the Orange Pi PC does NOT boot:
1. current stable image LibreELEC-H3.arm-12.0.0-orangepi-pc.img.gz
2. current nightly for 12.0 LibreELEC-H3.arm-12.0-nightly-20240605-61123a8-orangepi-pc.img.gz
3. current nightly for 13.0 LibreELEC-H3.arm-13.0-nightly-20240606-58f0779-orangepi-pc.img.gzHere is the serial console output for 2:

jernej, is there any further information which would be useful for debugging this issue?

Tried to find when it was broken. u-boot 2023.10 works OK. Starting from 2024.01 my Orange Pi PC doesn't boot.
