Unfortunately, this script is not currently functional, and requires extensive troubleshooting to make work. There is a script that prepares a Gentoo arm64 stage 3 tarball for the Pinebook Pro. Previously the best tool was Daniel Thompson's Debian Installer, but unfortunately as of April 2023 some of the upstream kernel sources this tool used seem to no longer exist. Building a Debian-based image via the Armbian builder on the other hand seems to work with no changes. The official images are not recommended yet until the display begins working consistently and the installer properly installs the bootloader. The "ncatenateable_images" file provides instructions on how to combine the file with the .gz file in order to create a DD-able image. The relevant files are built daily here and may sometimes be unavailable if the build system is having issues. ![]() Installer currently doesn't install a functional bootloader, leaving the installed system in an unbootable state until it's manually added (if installed to eMMC, the system cannot be booted even to an SD card unless the eMMC is physically switched off or there is U-Boot in the SPI).Supports automatic partitioning and full disk encryption through LVM.Installer is loaded into RAM, can install onto the same media from which it’s booted.You will also need "brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt" in /lib/firmware/brcm, at least until it is included within firmware-brcm80211 upstream. If your Pinebook Pro was part of the June/July 2022 batch, then you will need the "firmware-brcm80211" to accommodate the changed networking hardware. Requires adding the non-free component to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and installing the "firmware-linux" package for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.Display doesn't always work properly on first boot of installer, usually fixed after a couple tries.Uses only the upstream kernel and firmware without special patches.
