Booting from SD card on Pinetab2
#1
Hello,
I recently received a Pinetab2, and I'm very pleased with the quality of manufacture. However, I wanted to try using Ubuntu touch or Mobian instead of Danctnix. I flashed the Ubuntu touch image listed on the releases page onto an SD card, plugged the SD card into the tablet, and turned it on. Every time I tried booting, it booted Danctnix. When I plugged the UART adaptor into the bottom USB C port and turned the switch to the "on" position, nothing at all booted. The same thing happened when I tried booting Mobian. 

I tethered the tablet to a phone and updated the Danctnix system, because I saw that on the most recent factory image, Mobian could supposedly boot without using the UART adapter. Nothing changed. 

I followed the instructions on this page to install Mobian. I installed U-boot, but I didn't see any change in behavior. According to the "About this System" page, the the version of U-Boot is 2023.07.02-00055-gc294612d38 and the kernel version is 6.4.3-danctnix1-1-pinetab2.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
