How to enter flash mode

The device boot priority is SPI -> EMMC -> SD. Pine64 ships a debug board with the tablet which has a switch to disable EMMC and SPI, forcing the device to boot from SD.

This adapter needs to be plugged to the bottom port (the charging port).

Installation

Icon WARNING: DO NOT FLASH POSTMARKETOS TO INTERNAL STORAGE! postmarketOS does not come with a bootloader. If you attempt to flash to internal storage, you'll brick it.

Prerequisites

If you have the V2.0 PineTab 2 (and likely also the V0.1 version), you need to update the included U-Boot installation to at least version 2023.07.02-2 from the DanctNIX repos. After that, the device should boot from SD cards just fine.

Creating and flashing the image

Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image.

$ pmbootstrap init
$ pmbootstrap install --fde

Now you can flash the image to an SD card using:

$ pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/CARD
