RE: [split] U-Boot with NVMe support, keyboard & display working - as400 - 10-02-2020 @simonsouth more good news. You also resolved problem with distortions on the screen after kexec I have tested today and it works ok. And this problem is present in the kernel for like last 3 years. Will this patch be accepted into the mainline ? P.S. I have tested kexec with all the display stuff compiled into the kernel (rockchip-drm, panfrost, analogix-dp etc.). It might make a difference but I don't really think so.

Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk RE: [split] U-Boot with NVMe support, keyboard & display working - as400 - 10-27-2020 New version of u-boot - 2020.10. Kernel patch is still needed. I think the patch was accepted into mainline 5.10. https://gitlab.com/as400l/pbp-uboot-display-menu/-/tree/master/27.10.2020 RE: [split] U-Boot with NVMe support, keyboard & display working - as400 - 10-30-2020 Good news - @simonsouth patch has made it into linux-5.9.2 So if your distro offers kernel 5.9.2 you can use this u-boot probably without the problems with display not initializing properly.

I'm very new to Linux and reading through this thread makes me interested to try out. I like the idea of choosing what device to boot from. My pinebook is running manjaro 20.10 and I believe the uboot from factory resides in the Emmc and would like to replace the current one with that in this thread. Though honestly I don't know where to start, would someone be kind enough to explain how to implement this? RE: [split] U-Boot with NVMe support, keyboard & display working - Arwen - 11-21-2020 @FeMike, First, try learning more about your existing system. Dealing with U-Boot is very experimental, and has the potential to soft-brick your Pinebook Pro. If you are really new to Linux, you need to check the kernel level with the following command. Then you can see if your kernel is at 5.9.2 or higher. Code: uname -r RE: [split] U-Boot with NVMe support, keyboard & display working - FeMike - 11-21-2020 Nice, yeah it's running 5.9.6.1 Edit: So I just went for it and just did it. I learned a few things and it seemed to work though I may not fully understand how to choose which device to boot from. I press control+c for boot menu but it continues on to boot from sd card. I'm sure I'm missing something but when I get back from work I'll keep trying. Thank you.
