... the pine board ( uses boot0 u-boot ) boots from an SD card, and normally runs from the card as well; however, you may also move the /rootfs to an HDD, or SSD, or usb stick. In this configuration the pine board makes a great server ( docker runs fine on it too ) and you could very easily use it for version control and backup-- many people do just that !
If I want to use a SSD, may I need some SATA module for the board? Or maybe some SATA to USB cable converter?
I suppose I have to move the rootfs from the SD card to the USB port.
Thanks!
That is correct.
... the configs will point to the device that holds the /rootfs. And like any gnu+linux system, you may also have multiple partitions on your HDD or SSD.
There is no sata port on the pine board; folks use the usb interface.
