Hi Andreas,
thanks for your answer.
Did you or did you not dd the M64
u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin file as I
documented on the Wiki page?
I did not. Didn't know where to find that file.
If you use the Pine64 bootloader and Device Tree, all
kinds of things
can go wrong.
Apparently I am fine, except that when booting right after power on, the
Ethernet device does not come up. However a "shutdown -r now" does a reboot
and the device does come up.

I just tried a "zypper in --download-only u-boot-
bananapim64-2018.11-95.1.aarch64" which conflicts with u-boot-
pine64plus-2018.11-95.1.aarch64.
I downloaded it using curl and got:
# rpm -ql u-boot-bananapim64-2018.11-95.1.aarch64.rpm
/boot/sunxi-spl.bin
/boot/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin
/boot/u-boot.itb
/usr/share/doc/packages/u-boot-bananapim64
/usr/share/doc/packages/u-boot-bananapim64/README
/usr/share/licenses/u-boot-bananapim64
/usr/share/licenses/u-boot-bananapim64/gpl-2.0.txt
It doesn't matter which package is installed, it
only matters which
binary was written (dd'ed) to the right location on the SD card.
So these above files in /boot are not used in the boot process?
Uninstalling u-boot-pine64plus is certainly a good
idea to avoid
mistakes, but installing u-boot-bananapim64 is only one way of obtaining
the binary to dd onto the SD card. You could also extract the .rpm on
another machine, using e.g. file-roller or command line tools.
So I should move the above /boot/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin to my desktop
system and dd that file with "dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdX
bs=1024 seek=8" to the SD card?
This moves the content of that file to a location on the micro-SD which lies
before the sector 2048 on which /dev/mmcblk0p1 starts. Starts at sector 16?
Regards,
Andreas
