Looking for Small Board - stefan.schumacher - 05-15-2020
Hello,
two months ago I accidentally damaged the MicroSD Port of the Small Board of my Pinebook Pro while trying to get out a MicroSD card with a pair of tweezers. Now I want to install Manjaro and need a replacement small board. It's not available in the parts shop. Is there someone - idealy in Germany - who has a spare small board and would be willing to sell it to me?
Yours sincerely
Stefan

I thought one can nowadays boot from usb. Can you try to boot the manjaro installer from there?
If that fails and you are not able to purchase a daughterboard, then order the USB eMMC reader. You can then write the manjaro image onto your eMMC card from another computer.

That's correct. Modern/up-to-date OOTB Debian and Manjaro can boot from USB.
