FydeOS for You - Pinebook Pro

[cefre00]

So if we get Manjaro's uboot and flash it to the already written SD card it should boot?
Sorry, but I'm afraid some of us need further guidance on this.

Boot into Manjaro and open a terminal.

Use lsblk or disk managing app to identify eMMC.

Install BSP uboot:

Code:

sudo pacman -S uboot-pinebookpro-bsp

After installing run the commands given in the terminal:

Code:

sudo dd if=/boot/idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblkX seek=64 conv=notrunc
sudo dd if=/boot/uboot.img of=/dev/mmcblkX seek=16384 conv=notrunc
sudo dd if=/boot/trust.img of=/dev/mmcblkX seek=24576 conv=notrunc

That's it. you've installed BSP uboot from the Manjaro repos.

Thank you!

EDIT:
So I tried it out, typing these words from FydeOS right now. I think the peformance is superior, something you would look for in 2021. Watching a 60 fps 720p youtube video: no problem, 1080p not so much though. FydeOS seems to be nice, but there is a little screenflickering which I only encountered on kernel 4.4 Debian on this rig before, very strange. I think ChromiumOS is the go with this machine or terminal Linux, because GUI Linux is just way too slow.

EDIT2:
And now my Manjaro installation is not booting anymore in the EMMC. Unbelievable...
