This board has not been released. It’s not possible for you to have purchased it.
I received my purchase and it is a v1 board. I made an assumption that was incorrect.
Thank you for your prompt response.
Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for the delay on my part (had to dig up a serial adapter to get the logs).
Fair enough. What would be the easiest way to reenable it? My own build of U-Boot? I could presumably add it to boot_targets but it seems I can’t save the environment:
=> saveenv
Saving Environment to FAT... Card did not respond to voltage select! : -110
** Bad device specification mmc 0 **
Failed (1)
This seems to only happen in certain circumstances but I’m not quite sure what. Perhaps it’s the attempted tftp without an ipaddr set first.

From a power-on reset, if I set the serverip and boot target to pxe, it works:

In the meantime, I’ve done this. I had to remove CONFIG_BOOTP_SERVERIP=y from configs/libretech-ac_defconfig and add pxe or dhcp back to BOOT_TARGETS in include/configs/meson64.h.
The description doesn’t say when this update is needed or what it does.
I think this update is a u-boot update that is only used if the system has already been configured to boot with a spi-flash device that is attached to the spi pins. (I.e. not needed if booting from SD Card or eMMC).
Is this correct?
No, it’s configured to be bootable even if SPI NOR is empty as long as it’s on a proper bootable device that the SoC checks like MicroSD or eMMC.
I have a Renegade. I’m using the download images from the Libre web site as available today (August 20, 2024)
roc-rk3328-cc-spiflash is 24MB and dated October 13, 2023.
Are those images complete and up-to-date or is this boot update still needed?
It looks like this is ‘raw’ code that self-executes and updates the lowest level boot loader binary? I.e. not u-boot.
Why is it called “spi-flash”? Are there any release notes that say what this update does?
ROC-RK3328-CC does not have SPI NOR. The bootloader has to be part of the image per the OP. That is an internal test image from our CI infrastructure. Hence the CI in the URL.

Am I supposed to choose mmblk0boot0 or mmcblk0boot1 ?
By default, it does not show the boot device that / (root) is mounted to. You need to force it.
mmcblk0 force
