[newbie] Why Rock64 can't run native ARM Linux distro out of the box

[tllim]

There is such effort and this is why you spot a SPI Flash on all ROCK64 board which has yet not been used. Once the EFI implementation on SPI Flash bring up on next two months, user will able directly use the ARM64 OS build that release directly from various OS companies. Please note that this project takes several months, even up to a year to mature. The target is in near future, there is no need to keep creating individual OS builds for different Linux OS which is time and resource hogging.
