Since you got the lite CM5, did you do the eeprom edit in the OP? Not all SD cards work right away with the CM5. You can try booting it with a HDMI connected to see if you get a SD card error. if so you’ll need to do the edit to get it to work.
You’ll need a to test a few to find one that works. If you don’t have one that you can boot with I have test this one in the 128gb version and it works without the edit. once you get booted make the edit then all SDs will work.
