How to enter flash mode

Press and hold Home + Volume DOWN + Power until confirmation dialog appear, then press Volume UP to confirm.

Installation

See Installation guide.

What works

  • Booting
  • USB Networking + SSH
  • Flashing
  • Touchscreen
  • SD Card installation

What does not work

  • Staying on without rebooting after around one minute. (You can see Xfce booting, but not use it before it reboots...)

Not tested

  • Everything that implies staying on.

Issues

  • Reboots every 1 minute after boot (probably a watchdog somewhere ?)

Plans

  • Try with a different DM
  • Take a look at the kernel options
  • Try other kernels
