[Orange Pi PC-Plus] version 12.2.0 does not start

After the update, it doesn’t start. The circuit board’s activity diode doesn’t light up; apparently it doesn’t see the loader. After that, I tried to record a complete new image - the same thing. I return to 12.0.2 - it works. I tried several SD cards - 12.2.0 does not work, 12.0.2 works

The same has been reported on aother Allwinner board so there's likely an issue in the u-boot (or related code) somewhere that's used to perform initial boot. We've pinged the main Allwinner maintainer, but he's on an extended vacation so there might be a delay in someone seriously looking at the issue .. I'm not sure if other staff have hardware to test with.

Hm... Not sure what could be wrong, but most likely U-Boot related. Since I don't have time to look into this anytime soon, can you make following experiment. Flash 12.2 image, extract first 1 MB from 12.0 image, remove first 8 KB of that 1 MB dump and flash resulting binary to 12.2 image at offset 8 KB. I hope you understand otherwise I can provide set of dd commands to do that.
