Pinebook Pro Initial Impressions

[Depau]

Hi! Alright, my first impression? I'd say pretty bad.

I got the laptop and it turned on, it worked. Turned it off, turned it back on, no such luck.

Reading logs from serial it shows random eMMC issues, either it won't detect it, it won't manage to power it on, it won't boot because of corruption or it will fail later to mount the filesystem because of that.

Also it manages to set up the eDP link with the display one in probably 50 trials, so if it does boot, most of the time I'll only know it booted from the UART console.

I opened a support ticket and not only it wasn't even read properly (because the answer I got was one thing that could be clearly seen from the ticket) but I was told to go into IRC and ask for support there.

Which is what I'm doing right now.

So, as of now I'm very disappointed. I did expect minor issues and I was ready to find a way around them, but I wouldn't say the computer not booting at all is very "minor"

Let's see if the guys on IRC can help me though
