Can a PBP use GRUB?
#5
Figured out how to automate it in a janky manner - details below for posterity. Still interested in getting grub to output to the LCD with keyboard input. When only letting grub see "console=tty1" in the bootargs, it spits out "error: no suitable video mode found." on the serial console right before displaying the boot menu.

boot.txt

Code:
setenv bootargs initrd=/boot/initramfs-linux.img console=ttyS0 console=tty1 root=LABEL=ROOT_MNJRO rw rootwait video=eDP-1:1920x1080@60 video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60 bootsplash.bootfile=bootsplash-themes/manjaro/bootsplash load mmc 1:1 ${fdt_addr_r} dtbs/rockchip/rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb load mmc 1:1 ${kernel_addr_r} efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI bootefi ${kernel_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}
You might need to change the "1:1" in the "load mmc" commands for your setup - for testing I was booting off an sdcard. Also note your paths to grubaa64.efi (BOOTAA64.EFI) and dtb file may be different.

grub.cfg

Code:
set timeout_style="menu" set timeout=5 menuentry "Kernel" { linux (hd0,msdos1)/Image console=tty1 root=LABEL=ROOT_MNJRO rw rootwait video=eDP-1:1920x1080@60 video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080@60 bootsplash.bootfile=bootsplash-themes/manjaro/bootsplash devicetree (hd0,msdos1)/dtbs/rockchip/rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb initrd (hd0,msdos1)/initramfs-linux.img }

As others online have noted, rebooting has issues but otherwise it seems to work great.

Here is my boot log too in case it might help someone:
