To be clear, I tried a different power supply, rated at 2 Amps, and a reliable Signalex micro USB cable rated at 1.5 Amps. Current draw when boot hangs is a constant 0.16 Amps (160mA), so I can rule out power issues
If it helps, I powered up via usb on a host pc, and lsusb gives:

Licheepi Zero only has 64 MB RAM. I don't think it can run the standard Debian kernel.
Hi Johang,
if Debian can't boot on the Lichee Zero why is it STILL listed as a supported board?
I have seen reference here to Debian running successfully on a Lichee Nano (Allwinner F1C100s which only has 32MB RAM). Once booted, the RAM overhead is only 7MB.
Is there any way your image can be tweaked to work? I am assuming you have the hardware
Please note for the Bullseye image booting hangs completely at "Starting Kernel"
However for the Bookworm image booting get stuck in a loop resetting at the following point:
Booting using the fdt blob at 0x41800000 Loading Ramdisk to 4170c000, end 42dff871 ... OK ERROR: image is not a fdt - must RESET the board to recover. FDT creation failed! resetting ...

The Sid image as as per the Bookworm image: ERROR: image is not a fdt - must RESET the board to recover. FDT creation failed! resetting ...
Seems to be different issues affecting Bullseye and Bookworm/Sid, if that helps
This repo would be the most fantastic resource if a bit more work was done to make these images work, which I'm confident that they can. Unfortunately I don't personally have the skills to make the adjustments necessary, I can only test.
Dropped support for this board. Not enough memory.
