Kali Linux for Pinebook Pro

[granstr0m]

Well, there clearly is not room in the image for idbloader & friends
So it must rely on the uboot on emmc
So, when you flash the emmc, there is no more a uboot...anywhere
Personally, I would hack the image, then test by disabling emmc
As so
15Mblank + kali + 1M blank,, fdisk image,, dd mrfixit idbloader, uboot, ATF to image
Try boot with working then non-working emmc
Maybe boot.txt need editing (&recompile)
As I said,, it must not have been tested, so I have little confidence
OR, if you can't do it right, why bother

Perhaps one should look into if someone is working on an emmc installer image. It seems not that easy doing this by hand. It could have been a bit easier if Kali kept their /boot on a separate partition, but no. Damn I really want to use this computer with Kali installed on. the emmc.

The script for building the images is here:

Perhaps it can be modified to create an image that is installable. on the emmc.
