WARNING: This device cannot run postmarketOS, as its architecture is unsupported. |
 |
This device is still running on armhf, although it supports armv7. If you own it, change the device packages' architectures, test it and submit a patch. |
| This device has been archived. This means that it no longer appears in pmbootstrap and is likely broken. It can still be selected in pmbootstrap init by typing in the vendor and codename, but you will have to build the kernel package manually. |

Flashing the partitions does not work yet (except for the kernel), so you will need an SD card. |

- Install everything using an SD card
pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/sd? - Insert the SD-Card on the device
