you are correct, on the other hand, the pine64 u-boot did nothing, this one at least seems to work,
even the ethernet, though there are several things missing, like there is no real/available memory message.
Also, this u-boot is booting efi, and the treatment of the dtb is new to me :-(

So, is there a u-boot for this board or should I use the one from linux/debian?
