It seems we've regressed with the Orange Pi PC for 2016.07 but I'm wondering with the PCSI bits whether the process has changed and I've missed the details of what's needed to flash u-boot.
I just tried on my own Orange Pi PC with current master (which will become the final 2016.07 real soon now) and everything works fine.
wrt the flash process, nothing has changed simply dd u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin to an offset of 8192 bytes on the sdcard.
With rc3 I see the follwing:
U-Boot SPL 2016.07-rc3 (Jul 07 2016 - 10:36:40) DRAM: u MiB Could not determine boot source
Sometimes this happens if writing to the sdcard went wrong somehow, sometimes the data can be unreadable or worse not readable reliably for the board even though the PC reports everything as ok (often when this happens the write takes longer then usual, indicating the PC has to retry it under the hood).
Often just repeating the dd fixes this (sad but true), I'm not aware of any bug in rc3 wich would trigger this, and looking at the commits in master since rc3 nothing stands out.
To double check I've just taken u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin for the opi pc from: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=778437
And then did:
sudo dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8
And after that tested it, and it works fine for me, so it seems that you indeed got unlucky by hitting a bad / weak flash sector on the sdcard.
