Dear Maintainer, I could not install a Debian Bullseye that was able to boot on my Olimex A64-Olinuxino-eMMC -A64-OLinuXino-1Ge16GW version - with the nightly built SD card images. Nothing was happening after the message "Starting kernel". So I followed the mitigation process proposed here: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Allwinner#Installing_on_systems_that_are_not_supported_out_of_the_box As the nightly built DTB was giving the same result - nothing after 'starting kernel', I compiled a DTB from the DTS found in the device tree git repo. It dit not work better. While I was trying to have a bootable system from the nightly built SD card images, I had noticed that a system install with Olimex Teres images was nearly woking: it was able to boot, but hanged 30 seconds after the boot. So I have used the Olimex Teres DTS. I have removed the parts relating to hardware not present on a64-Olinuxino-eMMc. The system can boot. It complains about vcc-p* not found. When I tried to add the parts related to vcc-p* from the a64-Olinuxino-eMMc DTS, the system could not boot anymore (again, nothing after 'Starting kernel').
Hello, Finally, I have only commented out a single line vcc-pb-supply = <®_dcdc1>; from the file sun50i-a64-olinuxino.dts (which is included in the file sun50i-a64-olinuxino-emmc.dts), to be able to get a DTB that allows the system to boot on my 1Ge16GW version of the A64-Olinuxino-eMMC card.
