edit: I don't know why I was having issues with the the rootfs from the pine64 image but the pinebook one booted perfectly

Hi all,
I've seen there is no HDMI/TV/LCD support in the kernel.
And in the boot too.
Do you know when the video will be available?

Again, since everyone is working on mainline - I think it may be some time.

Thanks for the info, I've gotten so far as getting u-boot working, still trying to get the kernel to load.

Is there a howto you followed to get uboot loaded?

Thanks!

Any update on an official linux build or something that I can flash to a SDcard and boot too?

Same here. Android works on the card, but i want a Linux for my project.

Any news for a linux image ?

Ok, so for starters there is a disclaimer on the site that the board is in early stages of development ... which essentially means "if you want something to work then make it/ help make it work".

Now, there is the OPI BSP image (Ubuntu) that works with the board if you're into that. As for mainline - someone needs to take time to build an image and many features are still in development. On a bright side, just the other day I was surprised to hear that HDMI works with mainline. I saw pfeerick asking about sources just yesterday - perhaps he'll put together something.

My five cents. Ubuntu Bionic or Debian Stretch with kernel 4.16.y (based on Icenovy patchset)

Bootlog: http://ix.io/18DU

https://dl.armbian.com/pineh64/Debian_st...nightly.7z
https://dl.armbian.com/pineh64/Ubuntu_bi...nightly.7z

Soon in the development tools.
