Not sure if this is for emmc or sdcard?

Has anyone been able to get the offensive security Kali arm to run on pinebook? If so, what are the steps? I haven’t had any success loading on SD via etcher and booting. 
TIA

Version 2019.4 was released yesterday or today and it seems to work great on my 11" Pinebook 1080P using a microSD card.  I haven't tried to install it to the eMMC.  If you're on a Windows box, this works.  If you're starting with Linux/macos, you'd use `dd` in place of steps 3 and 4.  (I haven't used Etcher)

1.  Grab https://images.offensive-security.com/ar...ook.img.xz
2.  Extract the img file using a tool like 7-Zip
3.  Nuke whatever filesystem you have on the flash disk with `diskpart`
4.  Write the image to a flash card with a tool like `physdiskwrite` (https://m0n0.ch/wall/physdiskwrite.php - there are lots of other options, I use this out of habit)  The amount of data it reports writing is probably wrong, don't worry about it.  You'll be dropped at the command prompt when it finishes, ~10 minutes.
5.  Stick it in your Pinebook and power it on and it should boot up to an xfce login screen.  Be patient, it's slow.
6.  Login with root/toor and run `apt update && apt upgrade`
7.  For connectivity, it'll work with USB ethernet adapters out of the box.  If you want to use the built-in wireless, go to /usr/src/rtl8723cs and run `dkms install .`
8.  I also found the default backlight brightness to be really dim, so you can also run `pkexec --user root xfpm-power-backlight-helper --set-brightness 10`
9.  Load tools - the install is very minimal and while it has a GUI, it doesn't include essentials like tmux or net-tools
10.  Hack the planet.

Thanks! do you have a changelog for it?
You can find me on IRC, Discord and Twitter
