My Radxa Zero doesn’t boot about 1 in 2 times that I plug it in. I have the 2GB RAM variant with 8GB eMMC and I use the eMMC.
I attached to the serial console to try to see what was going on.
I think the interesting parts are as follows:

Is this a sign of a failing eMMC? I have not used this board very heavily so I am kind of disappointed if it’s that. If not, any ideas on what the cause is and what I can do to avoid this problem?
I’m using Armbian 22.08.6 Jammy if that matters — maybe the UBoot configuration is different?
