KISS Linux for Pinebook Pro
#5
Hi Surehand53,
The GitHub page has details on the kernel and bootloader if you want to build these yourself.

If you don't want to build your own kernel/bootloader and have a spare SD card with Manjaro installed on it, you can use the ready built kernel and bootloader from there.

I'm currently using a build of the tsys Manjaro kernel as linked on the GitHub page. Not sure how close the mainline kernel is to being usable on the PBP - it may be possible now, but I haven't tried this in a while.

Note you don't have to use the generic build flags on your own machine. I used the generic flags when creating the tarball so that it could be used on any aarch64 device. When building packages for yourself you can use flags more tailored to the PBP - see the GitHub page for details.
