A true mainline Linux Kernel for the Pinebook Pro
#47
Following up on the no display be aware that the pinebook_pro_defconfig is a distro-like config and is highy modular. The display will not come up until the rootfs (or initrd) comes up and the appropriate drm modules are loaded.

Thus if you didn't copy the modules to the rootfs (or your kernel command-line doesn't mount the rootfs correclty) then the display will never come up...

(if you did copy the modules then be patient, it takes a long time to initialize the kernel... the log messages make it look like CPU0 is clocked *very* slowly when u-boot hands it over)
