Installation

Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image, install to sd is currently the only option.

$ pmbootstrap init
# select solidrun, cubox
$ pmbootstrap install --disk /dev/sdX

Note: installation to USB-memory or HDD should also be possible, but would require a modified `boot.src`

TODO

  • HDMI: dovefb has not been mainlined, patches were submitted to the LKML but never merged
  • TOSLINK (audio-out): investigate to get working
  • ESATA: test
  • Kernel: optimize config (community-config check passes, could still need optimization for auxilliary modules)
