I've seen similar, but not quite the same issue. Basically mine gets
stuck at some part of U-Boot and doesn't proceed to continue to boot.

I believe it's a bug somewhere in the firmware but I've not had time
to debug it. I suspect basically some device doesn't get reset
properly by the firmware on reboot and so causes issues actually
booting.

It's one of the things on my todo list to investigate but I've not had
the time to dig into it as yet.
