What version of U-Boot is in use? Older, U-Boot 2022.04 (Oct 02 2022 - 23:00:31 +0000) It's possible the boot would have completed on its own had I kept my mitts off the keyboard. The loader boot delay countdown ticks seems slow by about 10X. That might explain the init_uart_clock=3000000 in the old config.txt. I should have said earlier that this particular Pi3 was configured to boot direct from USB, without a microSD card, but never would. I ended up using a bootcode.bin file alone on the DOS partition. I should probably pull the microSD card to see if the new config.txt changes that behavior. Thanks for writing! bob prohaska
