You can do a bit more with this multi-boot image than just try the distros and throw it out.
Never tried the multiboot image before but I was wondering could I use p-boot to make an existing distro on SD multiboot, say Mobian, then choose from the p-boot menu to boot either Mobian or a 2nd distro I already have on the internal flash.
Also when plugging in a charger can the p-boot menu boot straight into charging mode without booting up the phone OS? I find it irritating that the
Pinephone boots up every time I plug a charger as i have to wait for it to boot up, then log in and shut down to save draining the battery
whilst the phone is charging.
Does this mean there now an easy way of doing all this with this new improved p-boot?
Yes. That's what p-boot bootloader was made for from the beginning, and that's how users I know about are using it. This multi-distro image is [also] a demo for p-boot.
With regards to the charger: p-boot will show the boot menu half a second after you plug in the charger, menu contains the battery status. P-boot will then shut down after 10s. This behavior is independent of the distros installed.
Not sure what you mean by new and improved p-boot.
You can use it like this for more than a year already.
