    This again because of incompatibility of the configuration data saved in
    NOR flash. The erase command I gave early is to erase that when you
    switched between the UEFI binaries. It's really horrible mess UEFI
    created in the initial days of Juno, and hopefully they have moved to
    some standard format these days.

    I completely agree. I had real bad times in past dealing with such
    things in UEFI.

    I think startup.nsh needs some edits. Just replace it with something like:

    "norkern dtb=board.dtb console=ttyAMA0,115200n8 root=/dev/nfs rw
    rootwait ip=dhcp systemd.log_target=null nfsroot=..." or something
    alike. Currently it just echos and stops.

    Regarding the new firmware stopping abruptly, I have no clue, except
    asking you to erase the flash completely when switching between the
    firmware versions. That has worked for me for all UEFI related issues in
    the past. It's really annoying I understand.

    flash> eraseall
