Guess I'm still a NOOB here -- which/what is the "mainline kernel?" I see this file on GitHub: linux-image-4.18.0-rc8-1056-ayufan-gad339353011e_4.18.0-rc8-1056-ayufan_arm64.deb -- BUT, not sure what to do with it. How do I install or create an image for my eMMC card? Thanks for any help!
With LXDE you have some package manager, probably Synaptic? If you fire Synaptic, search for 4.18.0-rc8 you should see 3 packages - headers, image and debug image. Install the image and reboot.
BUT BEWARE - I DID THIS WITH rc5-1052 AND BROKE MY INSTALL (possibly because I am thick or did it wrong!) But be prepared to rebuild your linux from scratch.
- ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
- PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
- PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
