a lot of thanks in advance and best wishes - hexdump
Hey hexdump,
I totally get your frustration with the software situation for the Star64. It does seem like there’s not much out there right now. I’ve been looking for bootable Linux images and any U-Boot or SBI trees myself, but it feels like we’re in the same boat as with the PineTab V—lots of potential but not much support yet.
I saw the icenowy Star64 kernel tree too, but it’s disappointing that it hasn’t been updated since January. I agree that having a dedicated forum section for the Star64 would be really helpful, especially as more people start to get their hands on it.
If I come across any useful resources or updates, I’ll be sure to share. Let’s keep each other posted on any progress we find!
Best wishes!
