I also have two Libre Computer boards that do not boot to Alpine.

This thread may be helpful:

I found this to be a helpful in discovering what an SPL is.

As an owner of several (working) RPi's, I decided to figure out u-boot
for LePotato later.  Just haven't had the time or interest to get
everything set up to initialize the hardware on the LePotato to finish
the boot process for Alpine.

If someone else on the list has already figured it out, please hit me
with a clue-bat.

HTH.
