Pinebook Pro won´t boot either from eMMC or microSD
#7
It sounds like you don't want linux at all! What you want is NetBSD! In that case, use this image http://www.armbsd.org/arm/netbsd-9/20201...pro.img.gz

But let's get this thing booting first. What you're describing is a blank or improperly flashed micro SD card. It does not need to be a specific one per se, but there are reports of some that don't work. If you can, try a different one. I use SanDisk ones (the exact type is that recommended for my GoPro camera) and Kingston (ones that came in raspberry pi bundles) and ones that I bought from Pine64. I don't have any that don't work, but again there are reports of ones that don't.

Having the eMMC adaptor will be helpful. But it's not necessary.

How exactly are you flashing the SD card now? I use NetBSD, and the method I use would work for linux too, but things will be different with other operating systems.
