Manjaro ARM for Pinebook

[tophneal]

Simple and fast solution is booting from sd and making from command line something like this:

dd if=/dev/whereversd of=/dev/whereeveremmc bs=1M

Unfortunately my SD cards are all over 16GB (except for a C4 that has only booted Armbian) so this method was not possible for me. For anyone else in a similar situation, I was able to inistall Manjaro to the eMMC by booting from the SD, getting the .img.xz file onto the SD and then ran

Code:

xzcat /path/to/manjaro.img.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/emmcp1 bc=1M

I didn't have to extract the .img file, and it took only a few minutes.
