Reinstallation Arch Linux ARM from scratch

[victor_yeh]

I have a Pine64 PineTab2 device. I have accidentally destroyed the Linux kernel on it, and there is no way to boot into Linux. However, I can access U-Boot. What should I do to install Arch Linux ARM with U-Boot only?

By the way, I am not familiar to U-Boot commands. Are there any suggestions for installing Arch Linux ARM? (especially U-Boot commands)

Funny, I'm trying to do the same, and so far, I've found that there are a few packages that are missing.

In the original factory image there are these pancakes which I can't find in `pacman` or `yay`

```
pacman -Q | grep pine
device-pine64-pinetab2 0.2-5
linux-pinetab2 6.16.9.danctnix1-1
uboot-pinetab2 2025.07-1
```

It seems there is no way to build the system without them.
