By the way, I am not familiar to U-Boot commands. Are there any suggestions for installing Arch Linux ARM? (especially U-Boot commands)
Funny, I'm trying to do the same, and so far, I've found that there are a few packages that are missing.
In the original factory image there are these pancakes which I can't find in `pacman` or `yay`
```
pacman -Q | grep pine
device-pine64-pinetab2 0.2-5
linux-pinetab2 6.16.9.danctnix1-1
uboot-pinetab2 2025.07-1
```
It seems there is no way to build the system without them.
