Installation
Use pmbootstrap to build your own installation image, install to sd-card is currently the only option.
$ pmbootstrap init
# select edge, 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: investigate to get working
- SPDIF/TOSLink (audio-out): investigate to get working
- RC-receiver seem to work, but not really tested up to now
- Kernel: optimize config (community-config check passes, could still need optimization for auxiliary modules)
