In theory, I've been trying to get people to log successful boot tests, but so far it's mostly been just me: https://wiki.debian.org/U-boot/Status I'd rather catch issues with u-boot early, as regressions in the bootloader can be pretty ugly, and catching it sooner than later is of course ideal. > So if I did not miss something, please enable A20-OLinuXino-Lime2-eMMC > in addition to the Lime2 board. Of course I am available for testing. So, if you don't mind your name in lights: diff --git a/debian/targets b/debian/targets index 69c22e978b..084131589e 100644 --- a/debian/targets +++ b/debian/targets @@ -112,6 +112,9 @@ armhf sunxi A20-OLinuXino-Lime u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin # Karsten Merker <mer...@debian.org> armhf sunxi A20-OLinuXino-Lime2 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin +# Andreas B.

Does it have both eMMC and SD/microSD, or is it eMMC only? That can affect how easy to is to unbrick the device, sould the worst happen. live well, vagrant
