VIM3L: stuck in vpp_init. Is the device dead?

VIM3L starts, u-boot starts. However, in the serial console, the last output is:
vpp_init

Anyone familiar with such a behavior?

Which Khadas SBC do you use?

VIM3L

Which version of system do you use? Khadas official images, self built images, or others?

Tried VIM3L_Ubuntu-gnome-focal_Linux-4.9_arm64_EMMC_V1.0.9-211217 and VIM3L_Pie_V211220

Please describe your issue below:

I managed to flash EEMC using the USB burning tool. It sucessfully erased and flashed the device.
So I assume, that the hardware is kinda OK.

However, after boot, the VIM3L outputs up to vpp_init on the serial console and that’s it.

Tried also with different power supplies, USB-cables and so on. Always the same behavior.

I could not find any useful information by googling. Maybe somebody has a hint, what could be the problem? That would be nice!
