Moving to Tow-Boot: Towards Device-Independant Images
#9
Just to followup, I installed Tow-Boot this morning and it worked out fine. The USB mass storage mode works well and that will make it a lot more convenient for image backups and to copy files back and forth between a PC and the Pinephone. (However, it only exposes the eMMC, not the SD card if you're using that for additional storage.)

A minor point is that the power-on LED is now red instead of green which is a little disconcerting since red makes my hindbrain automatically see "error condition" (Red Alert!). Not a big deal, just something to get used to.
