PinePhone - boot from microSD
#1
Hi all!

I have a PinePhone (UBports Edition), and I installed Ubuntu Touch 20.04 on eMMC successfully with JumpDrive after a few failed attempts to boot 20.04 (or even Manjaro ARM Beta33 Phosh) from microSD card.

So my issue now that I'm unable to boot any OS from microSD card. Maybe the problem is that I've installed Tow-Boot on the eMMC before, could it affect the boot process from microSD?

The microSD port is OK, because it can recognize my 2GB microSD with Tow-Boot (and the other one with JumpDrive), but when I put in the 16GB with UT 20.04 or Manjaro, and turn the phone on (with or without holding Volume down), it vibrates once with yellow LED up for a short time, but after that nothing happens.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!
