How to enter flash mode
Tinker board does not have internal storage, hence there is no flash mode. You need to install postmarketOS to an SD card.
Installation

Follow Installation/Using pmbootstrap. When asked for the device's vendor/codename, select Asus as the vendor and asus-tinker-board as the codename.
To flash the image to the device:
- Connect an SD card to your computer
- Run
pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sdX, where/dev/sdXis device name of your SD card (you can find it out usinglsblk) - Unplug the card and insert it into Tinker Board's card reader.
