boot
image(zipped)
initramfs(zipped)
and 3 "sun50i-a64-pinephone- 1.*.dtb" files.
Do I delete them all and flash just the Mobian image with BalenaEtcher?
Another question - if I later want to restore the PostmarketOS to the eMMC as original, can I just paste those files back or do they need to be flashed with BalenaEtcher? And how would multiple files be flashed?
Got it. Found a good video
What you are seeing under windows is just the /boot partition of the image/card since that is in FAT format, there are other partitions that contain the acutal rootfs which Windows can't see. When you write an image with dd or etcher it overwrites the whole system so you don't have to mess with files.
