Another Newb Unable to Boot From microSD
10-25-2020, 08:47 PM
I left windows behind 12 - 15 years ago, but I am still a basic GUI Linux user.
That said, I do use a few different Linux Distro's, Mint, Debian Edition is one of my favorites.
I use Balena Etcher to flash my micro-sd cards and I have had no problems booting my Brave Heart or my multiple PMOS convergent phone(s).
1) download the O.S. you wish to try, (do NOT extract ! )
(You may wish to occasionally zero wipe your sd card but that is not usually required)
2) Using Etcher, pick your desired downloaded operating system, and flash to your sd card.
3) put sd card into your pine phone and boot into the O.S. you have installed.
(Remember to note the default user and password when downloading)
I have not had any problems when following these steps.
Having expensive fast sd cards is not really helpful ( but, does not hurt ) but the Pine phone reads
sd cards at about 23mbps... so high speed expensive cards is not really a plus.
