Hello, yesterday I finally got my 14'' Pinebook [1]. There is Ubuntu 16.04 MATE as a default OS, but I would like to use openSUSE TW on it of course.
So, I found raw.xz XFCE-image for aarch64 [2] and used this command "to burn" image on the microSD card: # unxz -c openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-XFCE-efi.aarch64-2017.06.10-Build2.3.raw.xz | sudo dd of=/dev/mmcblk1p No success. Pinebook tried to boot from microSD card, but... it seems that there is something wrong with bootloader. Here [3] I found this command: # xzcat openSUSE-Tumbleweed-ARM-XFCE-efi.aarch64-2017.06.10-Build2.3.raw.xz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/ mmcblk1p oflag=sync Exactly the same... image is there, echo $? tells 0, but pinebook ignore it. Image on microSD card is marked as a bootable. I checked it with parted(8). I asked Google and it showed me this [4]. This is HOWTO for fedora 21 on Cubietruck, but there is one interesting thing: step (4) Write U-Boot to Media. Do we also need to install bootloader extra? Because, as I said, for me it seems like a bootloader problem. If yes, where is this script or documentation about it? Also I would ask about rootfs-images. Do we have some information/HOWTOs about these?
