Sorry for the newbie question, but how do I use this to create an SD card to use on my A64+?
you can use several programs, win32diskimager, or etcher. you just use one of those programs to burn the image to the sd card.

Don't think it's quite that easy Gnx... from what I remember of cztian's commentary on the IRC, the fedora image was on a USB drive, and he basically had a minimal image on the SD card, with something deleted, so that uboot skipped to the USB drive to look for the next boot option... hopefully someone can add a simple step by step, or a basic image that can be used. And maybe also a heads up as to if this worked in the end 
And please consider linking to Rufus in the future instead of win32diskimager... as win32diskimager has zero verification abilities, so can't tell you if the medium is faulty. Rufus can at least run a check for bad blocks before it writes the image, and is handy have to have around for general formatting needs also.

I think that this may work for using the Fedora .iso Image to build an SD card for the Pine64:
(03-21-2017, 01:59 PM)longsleep Wrote: Well, just write the stuff to the sdcard again (eg. from another system). Eg. use https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...ot_only.sh
If you do not want to build it yourself, follow https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...sh#L67-L68 for instructions. Also that whole script can be easily adapted to work on another linux system.
Cheers
Simon
rufus should allow you to burn the image to usb correctly in windows

There is only a uboot image on the SD card, and we can use setenv command to change boot order
Why isn't there a PINE64 target in `fedora-arm-image-installer`?
Code: Usage: fedora-arm-image-installer <options>
--image=IMAGE - xz compressed image file name
--target=TARGET - target board
[A10-OLinuXino-Lime|A20-OLinuXino-Lime|A20-OLinuXino-Lime2|A20-OLinuXino_MICRO|Bananapi|Bananapro|beaglebone|Cubieboard|Cubieboard2|Cubietruck|Mele_A1000|Mini-X|none|novena|panda|riotboard|trimslice|wandboard_dl|wandboard_quad|wandboard_solo]
--media=DEVICE - media device file (/dev/[sdX|mmcblkX])
--selinux=ON/OFF - Turn SELinux off/on as needed
--norootpass - Remove the root password
-y - Assumes yes, will not wait for confirmation
--version - Display version and exit
Example: fedora-arm-image-installer --image=Fedora-Rawhide.xz --target=panda --media=/dev/mmcblk0 --selinux=OFF
This is from the Fedora ARM Installation Manual:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architect...ion#Manual
I'm hoping that one of the existing ARM boards may also work for the Pine64 A64+. Although from my experience with the RaspberryPi and NTC CHIP I know that I need a Linux Device Tree (DTB) for the A64+
I've also downloaded the aarch64 Fedora Workstation image `Fedora-Workstation-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw` which from the Fedora ARM Installation Manual appears to be a disk image for an SD card. I'm going to try to`dd` that image to an SD card and see what I get.

I downloaded the server ARM image for Fedora 26 `Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw.xz` and uncompressed it.
unxz Fedora-Server-armhfp-26-1.5-sda.raw.xz
Then thanks to [this SO answer]( https://askubuntu.com/questions/69363/mo...isk-device) I was able to mount the various partitions inside this raw image. For example for the `/boot` partition:

From this it appears that this image is geared for a Raspberry Pi device.
The 2nd partition looks promising.
