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...
I also could not get FydeOS to boot from SD card.
I followed the instructions, and FydeOS does now boot from SD card but the original Manjero does not.
Specifically I followed the instructions substituting X for 2 because Manjaro is on /dev/mmcblk2
I also noticed when installing uboot-pinebookpro-bsp that this conflicted with uboot-pinebookpro which was removed.
1. What did I do wrong?
2. Is there a way to get Manjaro working again?
If not then it's slightly annoying but not a disaster. I might even reimage the EMMC with ChromeOS for a while to play with it.
