How to enter flash mode

Device is not locked from the factory and can run non-factory operating systems, basically out-of-the-box.

U-Boot script file boot.scr can be found in the root of the system partition (mmcblk0p1). By default it is symlinked to the default Turris OS BtrFS subvolume to /boot/boot.scr.

You can just point it to different BtrFS subvolume to boot from, or generally tweak the boot parameters, including the kernel.

If you want to work with U-Boot interactively, you would have to connect to the UART and press enter on boot.

Installation

No installation using pmbootstrap was tested. I basically just built postmarketOS Trailblazer (postmarketos-trailblazer) image and copied the system tree into a BtrFS subvolume from which I then booted the system.

Kernel support

Even the mainline kernel provided in the postmarketOS built did kinda work, I had best luck in hardware support just using the stock Turris OS kernel (6.6.88 at the time of writing).

I do not have any scripts, packages or generally a guide for loading modules for basic network support, I re-used the stock ones and loaded them manually. This way I was even able to connect to Wi-Fi access point or use the built-in Ethernet.
