2. If a sd card is in at powerup/reboot, the pinebook will attempt to boot from it.


unxz -c /path/to/pinebook_linux.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/sdX


Unfortunately, my pinebok doesn't want to boot from SD...


Code:
# unxz -c openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-XFCE-efi.aarch64-2017.06.10-Build2.3.raw.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk1p

How can I check that SD-image is correct in default pinebook OS (ubuntu 16.04)?
I believe, that problem is in image (bootloader is broken or something like that) and pinebook really tried to boot from SD...
