What bothered you may be bothering others.It was 18 months ago so I plead the 5th! But I do remember going round in circles via the NOOB page which was widely referenced as the place to start but in fact was not relevant to me. I was coming from 2 years of RasPi as my daily driver and it had no Etcher, also the Pine64 installer did not support the RockChip boards. And getting back to the ToC on any page was a PITA, I wasforever scrolling up and down to try find the bit I thought I had read somewhere.
So my aim is to have a simple/short startline (like the OP in this thread) and then broaden out for folks who need more. Indeed I have even put a link to the NOOB page. Equally I figure at least for BraveHeart "timespan" it is going to be useful to capture details about the various releases as some are going to move faster than others. Yup there will be feedback on IRC and in this forum (as well as others such as UBports) and the best place to collate them for a newcomer is in our wiki. Which sort of drove my choice of subsections for each release.
The thread linked in the OP mirrors exactly what I would want to know;
1) How do I get my PinePhone working
2) Then some supplementary questions
What did you have in mind that would be different?
- ROCKPro64 v2.1 2GB, 16Gb eMMC for rootfs, SX8200Pro 512GB NVMe for /home, HDMI video & sound, Bluetooth keyboard & mouse. Arch (6.2 kernel, Openbox desktop) for general purpose daily PC.
- PinePhone Pro Explorer Edition, daily driver, rk2aw & U-boot on SPI, Arch/SXMO & Arch/phosh on eMMC
- PinePhone BraveHeart now v1.2b 3/32Gb, Tow-boot with Arch/SXMO on eMMC
