Ah, great, thanks! I will see if I can pull the DT change in sometime
soon.

Userland wise you can use any arm64 image, for instance any of the
cloud images, or you nick it from some existing arm64 installation.
Kernel wise the only requirement would be at least a v6.5 kernel, since
only this one supports the Motorcomm Ethernet PHY and, more
importantly: the PMIC.
Any distro kernel would do, or you bake your own, defconfig should be
enough for booting plus USB and MMC. CONFIG_DWMAC_SUN8I=y and
CONFIG_MOTORCOMM_PHY=y should give you Ethernet on top, I think, but
there might be more needed.
For a quick boot, set the commandline and load and boot the kernel:
=> setenv bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200n8 earlycon root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootwait"
=> load mmc 0:1 $kernel_addr_r Image-6.7-rc2
=> booti $kernel_addr_r - $fdtcontroladdr
(those are rough instructions, please fill the gaps, or reply with specific questions)
You could even try to install a distro, using the official UEFI
installers many distros provide. This process can be long and
tedious, though, plus you need a v6.5 installer kernel, and would
probably need to play around to get it booted automatically.
> Console output:
This seems to got mangled, but looks like expected: you just have
nothing that would load automatically. A USB stick with an UEFI boot
program should be detected and started, for instance a distro
installer. Still you would need a v6.5 kernel, without the PMIC driver
you won't get far.
Cheers,
Andre
P.S. You can put the whole firmware (U-Boot + TF-A) on the SPI flash,
that gives you more freedom with the SD card. Just follow the
instructions in doc/board/allwinner/sunxi.rst.
