I have the 1080p Pinebook, and have run a few different distros on both emmc and sd without too much hassle. Both "dd" and Pinebook installer seem to produce usable SD cards.
But I'm having difficulty getting this (dietpi) to run on my Pinebook1080p ... I'm trying to run it from SD. I've made attempts with SD written by the Pine64 Installer, downloaded directly from the dietpi site and written via both dd and pv, and each time I end up with the same situation so I don't believe any of the write methods is failing differently than the others.
A few screens full of text flies by, and when it all stops I have a "=>" prompt. What I see next appears to be the "help" output for the fdt command, followed by:
libfdt fdt_path_offset() returned FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND
** Can't read partition table on 0:0 **
** Invalid partition 1 **
Loading kernel and initrd...
## Error: "load_kernel" not defined
SCRIPT FAILED: continuing...
After that are a bunch of "missing environment variable: {pxeuuid, bootfile, etc.}"
I'm not certain exactly what the Pinebook Installer does, but when using dd and pv I'm writing the decompressed image directly to the block device (/dev/sdb on my linux box, /dev/rdisk2 on my mac). Each method seems to result in the same thing.
I feel like I may be missing something simple and stupid, but cannot seem to find anything in these (or the dietpi) forums. Assistance would be happily accepted.
