My Debian journey on the Pinebook Pro

[schwarzwieweiss]

I'm not using pbp-tools nor the official Debian kernels but from my experience you need following modules included in your initramfs (or baked into the kernel) to properly initialize internal display on boot, so you can unlock your luks volume:

analogix_dp, drm, drm_kms_helper, panel-simple, pwm_bl, rockchipdrm

Also dptx blob is not needed for internal display to work.

Thanks for that information. I checked for kernels 5.7 and 5.8 (both built with pbp-tools): drm and drm_kms_helper are baked into the kernel; analogix_dp, panel_simple, pwm_bl, and rockchipdrm are included in initramfs. So no difference between the kernels in this regard.
