It's recommended for now to just install OS on the SD cause if you brick it you can easily reflash it , while if you brick an internal installation It's more hassle to get it back in a working state (Rk3999 boot on Internal first contrary to the A64 of the original PP)
Quote:Explain how power management is a user/deve/oper issue rather than a hardware/developer issue? How can a user/developer modify power issues? That is fundamental to distributing anything to be called a cell phone. Wouldn't basic power issue be handled at the bios level? Doesn't the bios come installed by the chip/mb manufacturer?There is no BIOS and the chip don't handle themself. Pine doesn't develop software they bring us hardware for us to develop.
Quote:OK, let me ask in a more simplistic manner. What software capabilities are installed on the phone before the OS/desktop? Are you saying none?Pretty much nothing if you remove the OS yes. unless you installed Tow-Boot yourself nothing interact with the phone before the Linux Kernel / OS
