I've confirmed a similar problem, I was testing some of this on the
PBP against RC2 as I was developing it but never tested the RC3.
I wish I had known that before trying the latest build. :(
Any chance you can grab one of the RC2 builds from koji [1] and see
if
you have better luck? Also maybe 2023.07 from koji too. I'll try and
get to the bottom of this in the next week or so.
Unfortunately, it'll take some time, because the SPL is unable to load
the next stage from SD and I have to enter the maskrom mode[1] to zero
the SPI. Would you happen to have instructions on how to build an image
that can be flashed in that mode using
rkdeveloptool wl 0 newspi.bin
? That'd make things easier. I don't have time to open my PBP right now
and probably won't have it for a couple of weeks.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
