I just got my Radxa Zero yesterday and having issues turning it on. I plugged in a monitor, keyboard and a mouse thinking the EMMC should have android in it it should just boot up. It did not and I thought probably i was wrong.
So I connected to the computer following the maskrom guide (pressing the usb-boot button and plug the cable). I can see the board on lsusb
Bus 003 Device 014: ID 1b8e:c003 Amlogic, Inc. GX-CHIP
So I proceeded to erase the EMMC following the guide and installed pyamlboot and then downloaded the radxa-zero-erase-emmc.bin rz-udisk-loader.bin.
Then I am trying to load the rz-udisk-loader.bin into the emmc using the boot-g12.py. I am presented with an error
(env) [bhashithe@desktop Downloads]$ sudo boot-g12.py rz-udisk-loader.bin

I have seen this issue on other forum posts, which I saw that this was due to a hardware issue and the had to return the radxa zero, I am hoping this is not the case with mine, but it looks like it is. I have tried load various .bin and .img (android) files into the EMMC which leads to the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: I have also installed libusb which did not solve the issue
