Notes on porting postmarketOS to run on the KII Pro TV Box

Known working GNU+Linux distributions
Thanks to the people at https://linux-meson.com/  the KII Pro has support in the mainline kernel. As such, there are some GNU+Linux distributions that already support this TV Box.

Armbian unofficially supports it and Manjaro ARM has images. The GTKing Pro image worked fine for me.

How to boot from an SD card
The bootloader used by the TV Box appears to be a vendor fork of U-Boot.

First we need a file called an 'autoscript' (?). It's needed in order to boot up a kernel or even chainloading a mainline U-Boot.

In order to boot from an SD card we need to enable some sort of multiboot mode.


 * Unplug your TV Box
 * Press and hold the RESET button and whild holding, plug the power supply back in
 * Keep holding it until an image shows up on the screen

The KII Pro should boot from an SD card.

More notes coming soon.
