Hi, I had ordered a developer PinePhone last year and unfortunately it did collect dust, because I was too disturbed by other topics...
And, I had to build my aarch64/arm64 cross-toolchain first. But now I have managed to build a Letux 5.6-rc2 kernel. And just some minutes ago I was able to boot after tweaking with some u-boot related files! Now comes the very interesting and unexpected part. I do not (yet) have an arm64 Debian rootfs for installation through makesd and accidentially installed the standard armhf (32 bit) Jessie image. And that works as well. Up to a login: on the PinePhone screen. Since it has no keyboard I can't login of course. And the console login is not configured. There is only console output but no getty running. After this observation it does not seem to be complicated to get LetuxOS Replicant or QtMoko running on this device! What I have to do next is to adapt the makesd and other tools so that we can easily bake a bootable µSD card. So if you happen to own a PinePhone as well, please stay tuned until I can share a working makesd command.
