[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
==== Download ====<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
==== Notes ====<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />
<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like [[Crust]] or changes of partition layout are added, then you need to reflash.<br />

== Tools ==<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
=== JumpDrive ===<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
----<br />
<br />
=== Tow-Boot ===<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
== Factory Test OS ==<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later. Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware. It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image. The downloadable image just does the hardware tests. Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there. New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />
<br />
{{Info| The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />

=== Factory-loaded OS builds ===<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

== Installing other ARM64 distributions ==<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see examples or specific commands for how to complete these steps, see:<br />

[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />
<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like [[Crust]] or changes of partition layout are added, then you need to reflash.<br />

<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
=== JumpDrive ===<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
----<br />
<br />
=== Tow-Boot ===<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />

[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like [[Crust]] or changes of partition layout are added, then you need to reflash.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
=== JumpDrive ===<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
----<br />
<br />
=== Tow-Boot ===<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />
<br />

=== JumpDrive ===<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
----<br />
<br />
=== Tow-Boot ===<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />
<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like [[Crust]] or changes of partition layout are added, then you need to reflash.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />
<br />

* [https://gitlab.com/MartijnBraam/factorytest/-/blob/master/README.rst Documentation]<br />
<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

<br />
= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />
<br />

* [https://gitlab.com/MartijnBraam/factorytest/-/blob/master/README.rst Documentation]<br />
<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />

{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo.<br />
The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt the installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />
<br />
'''What works, what does not work'''<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like [[Crust]] or changes of partition layout are added, then you need to reflash.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see examples or specific commands for how to complete these steps, see:<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like [[Crust]] or changes of partition layout are added, then you need to reflash.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />
<br />

* [https://gitlab.com/MartijnBraam/factorytest/-/blob/master/README.rst Documentation]<br />
<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

=== Mobian ===<br />
[[File:Debian-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
An unofficial [https://www.debian.org Debian] build for ARM64 running with Phosh (developed by Purism, uses Wayland instead of Xorg).<br />
The base system is pure Debian, with only the GUI applications and a few others (ModemManager, WiFi chip firmware) being built from modified sources (as well as the kernel and u-boot).<br />
Current version is Debian Bookworm.<br />

postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo.<br />
The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt the installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

'''What works, what does not work'''<br />
<br />
Currently, it boots, it's just as compatible as the Android-based devices are with Mobile NixOS.<br />
It even supports a bit more since it can use WiFi.<br />
<br />
Support for all of the hardware will be coming, this project is a breadth-first work, where the work spans multiple devices in parallel.<br />

postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo.<br />
The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt the installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />
<br />

* [https://gitlab.com/MartijnBraam/factorytest/-/blob/master/README.rst Documentation]<br />
<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

[[File:PostmarketOS-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo.<br />
The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt the installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />
<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />
<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like [[Crust]] or changes of partition layout are added, then you need to reflash.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see examples or specific commands for how to complete these steps, see:<br />

=== Various DPA Images ===<br />
Multiple versions of unofficial images of various Debian-based distributions by the user DPA. They also contain some of DPA's own software.<br />
<br />
==== Download ====<br />
The latest successful image builds can be found here: https://repo.dpa.li/apt/dpa-image-builder/images/?board=pinephone-pro<br />
<br />
==== Notes ====<br />
Most of these images are still in development / incomplete and DPA doesn't have time to test them all, but they can still be useful as a starting point to get distributions running for which no other images have been created yet. DPA made these images because they wanted to run their favorite distribution, Devuan, on their phone.<br />
<br />
The build scripts can be found in various places: [https://gitlab.com/DanielAbrecht/dpa-image-builder GitLab], [https://projects.dpa.li/git/?p=dpa-image-builder.git;a=summary my server], [https://github.com/Daniel-Abrecht/dpa-image-builder GitHub]<br />
<br />
In theory, these build scripts can create images for any Debian-based distribution which supports ARM64 and can be bootstrapped using ''debootstrap''.<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

=== Sailfish OS ===<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />

[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

'''What works, what does not work'''<br />
<br />
Currently, it boots, it's just as compatible as the Android-based devices are with Mobile NixOS.<br />
It even supports a bit more since it can use WiFi.<br />
<br />
Support for all of the hardware will be coming, this project is a breadth-first work, where the work spans multiple devices in parallel.<br />

postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo.<br />
The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt the installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />

== Sailfish OS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

[[File:PostmarketOS-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo.<br />
The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt the installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />
<br />
Please read the detailed [https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_(pine64-pinephone)#Installation installation instructions] in the wiki.<br />

== Sailfish OS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

== Sailfish OS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />
<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

=== Maemo Leste ===<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

<br />
It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker].<br />
As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream.<br />
A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, <br />
but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask.<br />
Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like [[Crust]] or changes of partition layout are added, then you need to reflash.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

'''How to contribute and report defects'''<br />
<br />
It is recommended that you log your bug reports in [https://gitlab.com/mobian1/issues the project's issue tracker].<br />
As a general rule, issues with third-party apps (even the default ones) should be reported upstream.<br />
A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, <br />
but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask.<br />
Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

== Sailfish OS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

<br />
= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

A Mobian issue would be related to getting the hardware to work on the PinePhone, <br />
but if unsure where the issue should be reported just open a ticket or ask.<br />
Feel free to pick an open issue to work on, or send a merge request on [https://gitlab.com/mobian1 Gitlab].<br />

<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo.<br />
The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt the installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />

== Sailfish OS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

'''What works, what does not work'''<br />
<br />
Currently, it boots, it's just as compatible as the Android-based devices are with Mobile NixOS.<br />
It even supports a bit more since it can use WiFi.<br />
<br />
Support for all of the hardware will be coming, this project is a breadth-first work, where the work spans multiple devices in parallel.<br />

postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo.<br />
The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt the installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />

== Sailfish OS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />

* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

It is recommended to use ''bmaptool'', which is faster than dd, and can decompress archived image files on-the-fly.<br />
<br />
Syntax is:<br />
<br />
bmaptool copy [from] [to]<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
bmaptool copy https://github.com/webOS-ports/meta-pine64-luneos/releases/download/20220108-pinephone/luneos-dev-image-pinephone-0-0.rootfs.wic.gz /dev/mmcblk0<br />
<br />
.wic file can be treated as .img file when flashing. You may rename .wic file to .img when using GUI tools that require file extension to be .img.<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

<br />
postmarketOS extends [https://www.alpinelinux.org/ Alpine Linux] to run on smartphones and other mobile devices.<br />
It offers various user interfaces (Phosh, Plasma Mobile, Sxmo, Plasma Desktop, Gnome 3, Kodi, XFCE4, ...).<br />
<br />
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo.<br />
The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.<br />
<br />
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:<br />
* encrypt the installation<br />
* install from the SD card to eMMC<br />
<br />
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool <code>pmbootstrap</code>.<br />
<br />

== Sailfish OS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />
<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

== Sailfish OS ==<br />
[[File:Sailfish_logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://sailfishos.org/ Sailfish OS] is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Main_Page Mer], and a closed source UI based on [https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Lipstick Lipstick].<br />
<br />
* [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/PinePhone64 PinePhone Wiki Page] on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/pinephone-sailfish-os/linux-kernel/ Linux kernel config repo]<br />
* [https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/dont_be_evil-ci/ Sailfish OS repo]<br />
<br />
'''Download location'''<br />
<br />
'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

'''Notes'''<br />
<br />
OTA is supported: <code>zypper refresh && zypper update</code> as root (<code>devel-su</code> to get root access). Things that need reflash are bootloader specific at the moment. If improvements like [[Crust]] or changes of partition layout are added, then you need to reflash.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />

<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />
If you would like to see examples or specific commands for how to complete these steps, see:<br />

It is recommended to use ''bmaptool'', which is faster than dd, and can decompress archived image files on-the-fly.<br />
<br />
Syntax is:<br />
<br />
bmaptool copy [from] [to]<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
bmaptool copy https://github.com/webOS-ports/meta-pine64-luneos/releases/download/20220108-pinephone/luneos-dev-image-pinephone-0-0.rootfs.wic.gz /dev/mmcblk0<br />

== Maemo Leste ==<br />
[[File:Maemoleste-logo.png|right|100px]]<br />
<br />
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maemo Maemo] is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices,<br />
originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the [http://maemo.org/intro/ Maemo community]) before Nokia abandoned it.<br />
The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. <br />
<br />
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of [https://devuan.org/ Devuan] (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel.<br />
The default user interface stack is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hildon Hildon], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X.Org_Server Xorg], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matchbox_(window_manager) Matchbox WM], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK GTK].<br />
The current version is Devuan Beowulf (Debian Buster) and has simultaneous support for both Devuan and Debian.<br />
<br />
In addition to the main repository, they have a [https://github.com/maemo-leste-extras/bugtracker community repository].<br />
To keep updated they use automation in their package maintenance with [https://github.com/maemo-leste/jenkins-integration jenkins] (similar to [https://www.debian.org/devel/buildd/ debian's build]).<br />
Porting packages to Maemo Leste is basically a simple matter of porting to arm64 version of Debian/Devuan, which benefits both projects.<br />

'''Flashing script'''<br />
<br />
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sailfish-on-dontbeevil/flash-it/master/flash-it.sh flashing script].<br />
<br />
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card.<br />
Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
# Download the flashing script<br />
# Insert a microSD card in your device<br />
# Make the script executable: <code>chmod +x flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Verify that you have the <code>bsdtar</code> package installed<br />
# Execute it: <code>./flash-it.sh</code><br />
# Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).<br />
<br />
* When asked where to flash, type 'raw' and it will build the image on your computer. Otherwise define the path /dev/.... to flash to card or internal emmc. <br />
<br />
'''username/password'''<br />
<br />
Set PIN on initialization.<br />
<br />
* Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.<br />
* The homescreen may be locked unless you boot with a sim card inserted. An old expired sim will do. '''If you do not have a SIM card on hands, do NOT set a security code on first boot.'''<br />
* When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.<br />
* If you're not familiar with Sailfish OS, pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great, but is not immediately obvious. If you are familiar with it, you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left.<br />

= Tools =<br />
<br />
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.<br />
<br />
== JumpDrive ==<br />
<br />
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see [[PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive]].<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.<br />
<br />
== Tow-Boot ==<br />
Tow-Boot is a more user-friendly distribution of U-Boot. Can also mount internal storage as USB Mass Storage by holding the volume up button at startup before and during the second vibration and the LED will turn blue if done successfully.<br />
<br />
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image.<br />
Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.<br />
<br />
= Factory Test OS =<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' The magnetometer test will fail on the new Beta Edition, as the factory image wasn't updated for it yet.}}<br />
<br />
On the Braveheart model, there was a postmarketOS based basic Factory Test OS pre-installed on the eMMC.<br />
The developer Martijn Braam from postmarketOS has improved the functionality of the image considerably later.<br />
Since the 20200501 version, it is able to test all the hardware.<br />
It also includes functionality to install a new OS to the eMMC when using with an test image that includes that OS image.<br />
The downloadable image just does the hardware tests.<br />
Do not flash eMMC to test your device, just dd it to microSD and test from there.<br />
New versions are distributed as part of the postmarketOS distribution.<br />
<br />

* [https://gitlab.com/MartijnBraam/factorytest/-/blob/master/README.rst Documentation]<br />
<br />
== Factory-loaded OS builds ==<br />
<br />
These are different operating system builds that was preloaded in the factory with testing utility.<br />
<br />
Download the build, extract the image and dd it to a 8 GB or larger microSD card, then insert it into the PinePhone.<br />
After power up or reboot, you may perform and complete the test routine, or apply the build from microSD card to eMMC.<br />

= Installing other ARM64 distributions =<br />
<br />
{{Warning|Distributions not on this page may not even boot after you follow this section. In the best case, they will be barely usable.<br />
This is more for fun, or if you would like to port a new distribution to the PinePhone.}}<br />
<br />
{{Hint|'''Note:''' This section uses megi's kernel releases, and not the official ones from Pine64. While it is possible to use the official (and in the future, mainline) kernel, megi provides binary releases, which makes it very easy.}}<br />
<br />
General steps:<br />
<br />
# Create a boot partition (from 4 MB to about 252 MB) and a root partition (from the end of boot to the end of the card) filesystem on the SD card.<br />
# Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.<br />
# Extract the root filesystem from your distribution's ARM image into the root filesystem on the SD card. Do not copy the partition, copy the files instead (in archive mode, like <code>rsync -ar</code>).<br />
# Edit <code>/etc/fstab</code> to match your partitions.<br />
# Grab megi's kernel from https://xff.cz/kernels/, Follow the instructions in the [https://xff.cz/kernels/README README], which involves copying the kernel modules into the SD card rootfs, and writing u-boot and the bootloader.<br />
<br />

<hr />
<div>This section has generic installation instructions. Please see the [[PinePhone Software Releases]] section for specific installation instructions for each distribution.<br />
<br />
== Boot priority ==<br />
<br />
The PinePhone always boots from the microSD card first. It is therefore recommended to have a microSD card handy. It is '''not''' possible to lock themself out of the phone when the installation on the internal storage (the eMMC) fails, as a correctly flashed microSD card will always boot. Note: Booting from USB is not supported by the hardware, a live USB stick will not boot.<br />
<br />
The phone will also try to boot from microSD cards, which were previously flashed with an OS and formatted later, causing the phone to fail to boot. See [[#Reuse SD card for data storage on system booting from eMMC|reuse SD card]] on how to format the microSD card properly, including wiping the residues of u-boot.<br />
<br />
== Installation to the microSD ==<br />
[[Image:Pinephone_backside.png|thumb|The microSD belongs in the upper slot, the micro SIM in the lower slot.]]<br />
<br />
To install an image to the microSD card:<br />
<br />
# Download your chosen image from [[PinePhone Software Releases]]<br />
# Extract the compressed file<br />
# Write the image to your microSD card, see below<br />
# Plug microSD card into phone (make sure to use the top slot. NOT the bottom one)<br />
# Boot phone<br />
<br />
If you need step-by-step instructions for writing an image to an microSD card, check [[NOOB#Step-by-Step_Instructions_to_Flashing_MicroSD_Cards|the NOOB guide]], then return to this page.<br />
<br />
=== Flashing the microSD ===<br />
==== Using dd ====<br />
Make sure to select the correct device using <code>lsblk</code>. Then run <code>dd</code> with the correct device:<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
sudo dd if=pine.img of=/dev/[DEVICE] bs=1M status=progress conv=fsync<br />
</pre><br />
<br />
==== Using bmaptool ====<br />
Make sure to select the correct device using <code>lsblk</code>. Then run bmaptool with the correct device:<br />
<br />
Download the .img.xz and the .img.bmap files, then run <code>bmaptool copy --bmap image.bmap image.xz /dev/[DEVICE]</code>. This takes around 2.5 minutes to flash a 4 Gb file.<br />
<br />
==== Using graphical tools ====<br />
GUI applications such as Etcher and GNOME Disks can be used to flash the MicroSD too.<br />
<br />
== Installation to the eMMC ==<br />
<br />
=== Using Tow-Boot ===<br />
<br />
The eMMC can be flashed by holding vol+ on startup to boot into USB Mass Storage mode.<br />
The process of flashing an OS to the eMMC is identical to that of any other storage medium - e.g. a microSD card. You can use the <i>dd</i> command or a utility such as Etcher or Gnome Disks, etc.<br />
<br />
=== Using JumpDrive ===<br />
<br />
[[File:jumpdrive.jpg|400px|thumb|right|Jumpdrive running on the PinePhone]]<br />
The internal eMMC flash storage can be flashed using the Jumpdrive utility by Danct12 and Martijn from postmarketOS.<br />
This utility boots from micro SD and exposes the internal eMMC flash storage when the PinePhone is connected to a computer.<br />
The process of flashing an OS to the exposed and mounted eMMC is identical to that of any other storage medium - e.g. a microSD card. You can use the <i>dd</i> command or a utility such as Etcher or Gnome Disks, etc.<br />
<br />
Latest Jumpdrive can be found [https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases/ here].<br />
<br />
# Download and extract [https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases the Jumpdrive image]<br />
# Flash the Jumpdrive image to a microSD card<br />
# Boot the PinePhone from the Jumpdrive microSD card<br />
# Connect the PinePhone to your computer using USB-A -> USB-C cable<br />
# Flash the exposed PinePhone drive (e.g. /dev/mm..., check for the right device in dmesg, GNOME disks, or similar, and make sure it's unmounted) with your chosen OS image<br />
# Once the flashing process is complete, disconnect the PinePhone from your PC, power it down and remove the Jumpdrive microSD card<br />
# The process is now finished, and you can boot from eMMC<br />
<br />
The Jumpdrive image is smaller than 50MB. You can keep an microSD card specifically for using Jumpdrive, and there are 64MB microSD cards sold cheaply that will suffice. Jumpdrive also acts as a rescue image in case if you messed up your installation. To do so, you can telnet to '''172.16.42.1''', mount rootfs and fix it!<br />
<br />
<br />
=== SD to eMMC via installer ===<br />
<br />
postmarketOS and Mobian installer images booted from microSD card will simply ask the user, if they want to install to eMMC. The feature lives in the distro-agnostic calamares-extensions repository (see [https://github.com/calamares/calamares-extensions/pull/7 calamares-extensions#7]), so other distributions might adopt this in the future.<br />
<br />
== Resize partition to fit disk space ==<br />
<br />
{{Hint|Many OSes already include a script, which is resizing the partition on first boot, where this step is not required.}}<br />
<br />
Once you've flashed the OS to your microSD card or eMMC storage, you may also need to expand the partition to fill all the available space.<br />
<br />
=== Resize SD card's partition using computer ===<br />
<br />
For microSD cards, insert the microSD card and resize the partitions through the computer. For eMMC, insert the phone cable and use Jumpdrive to access the eMMC directly, and resize the partition after flashing the image. To do the flashing you have two options:<br />
<br />
====Using Growpart ====<br />
<br />
Install <i>growpart</i> and run:<br />
growpart /dev/mmcblkX Y<br />
resize2fs /dev/mmcblkXpY<br />
where X is the storage device and Y is the partition number (viewable from <code>lsblk</code>).<br />
<br />
If you get any errors about missing or unknown commands, use <code>apt-cache search</code> to find and install the needed software. Also don't forget to use <code>sudo</code>.<br />
<br />
====Using Parted ====<br />
<br />
Parted's interactive mode and resize work well together. Do this before you put your microSD card into the PinePhone for the first time for best results.<br />
<br />
sudo parted /dev/<your_sd_card_device><br />
(parted) resizepart 2 100%<br />
(parted) quit<br />
sudo resize2fs /dev/<the_second_sd_card_PARTITION><br />
<br />
=== Resize from within PinePhone ===<br />
<br />
eMMC: you would need to resize the partition on eMMC (flashed with the operating system) by booting another image from the microSD card: that way, the eMMC will be unmounted. It is '''not recommended''' to resize eMMC while booted from eMMC! Resizing a currently mounted partition can have weird results. If you booted from the microSD card, you can follow the above guidelines on how to resize from a computer. <br />
<br />
MicroSD card: It is generally not possible to boot from eMMC to partition the unmounted microSD card, because of the boot order - you would have to write the image to the empty microSD card first, then resize partition, all without rebooting. It is also '''not recommended''' to resize the microSD card while booted from microSD card! Resizing a currently mounted partition can have weird results.<br />
<br />
== Reuse SD card for data storage on system booting from eMMC==<br />
Once you have installed your release of choice to eMMC, you may wish to use an microSD card for data storage. If you choose to re-use a card you have previously used to boot from, you will find your phone will not boot if you just reformat the card and insert it. This is because the Allwinner firmware in the PinePhone uses some (normally) unused space at the front of the microSD card to store boot software, which you need to clear.<br />
<br />
This can be done as follows on any linux system:<br />
lsblk<br />
to check the device of your microSD card – as an example lets assume it is /dev/mmcblk0<br />
then<br />
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<your_sd_card_device> bs=8k seek=1 count=4<br />
will clear the relevant sectors of your card.<br />

The process of flashing an OS to the eMMC is identical to that of any other storage medium - e.g. a microSD card. You can use the <i>dd</i> command or a utility such as Etcher or Gnome Disks, etc.<br />
=== Using JumpDrive ===<br />
<br />

The internal eMMC flash storage can be flashed using the Jumpdrive utility by Danct12 and Martijn from postmarketOS.<br />
This utility boots from micro SD and exposes the internal eMMC flash storage when the PinePhone is connected to a computer.<br />
The process of flashing an OS to the exposed and mounted eMMC is identical to that of any other storage medium - e.g. a microSD card. You can use the <i>dd</i> command or a utility such as Etcher or Gnome Disks, etc.<br />

Latest Jumpdrive can be found [https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases/ here].<br />
<br />
# Download and extract [https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases the Jumpdrive image]<br />
# Flash the Jumpdrive image to a microSD card<br />
# Boot the PinePhone from the Jumpdrive microSD card<br />
# Connect the PinePhone to your computer using USB-A -> USB-C cable<br />
# Flash the exposed PinePhone drive (e.g. /dev/mm..., check for the right device in dmesg, GNOME disks, or similar, and make sure it's unmounted) with your chosen OS image<br />
# Once the flashing process is complete, disconnect the PinePhone from your PC, power it down and remove the Jumpdrive microSD card<br />
# The process is now finished, and you can boot from eMMC<br />

The Jumpdrive image is smaller than 50MB. You can keep an microSD card specifically for using Jumpdrive, and there are 64MB microSD cards sold cheaply that will suffice. Jumpdrive also acts as a rescue image in case if you messed up your installation. To do so, you can telnet to '''172.16.42.1''', mount rootfs and fix it!<br />

=== SD to eMMC via installer ===<br />
<br />
postmarketOS and Mobian installer images booted from microSD card will simply ask the user, if they want to install to eMMC. The feature lives in the distro-agnostic calamares-extensions repository (see [https://github.com/calamares/calamares-extensions/pull/7 calamares-extensions#7]), so other distributions might adopt this in the future.<br />

== Resize partition to fit disk space ==<br />
<br />
{{Hint|Many OSes already include a script, which is resizing the partition on first boot, where this step is not required.}}<br />
<br />
Once you've flashed the OS to your microSD card or eMMC storage, you may also need to expand the partition to fill all the available space.<br />
<br />
=== Resize SD card's partition using computer ===<br />
<br />
For microSD cards, insert the microSD card and resize the partitions through the computer. For eMMC, insert the phone cable and use Jumpdrive to access the eMMC directly, and resize the partition after flashing the image. To do the flashing you have two options:<br />
<br />
====Using Growpart ====<br />
<br />
Install <i>growpart</i> and run:<br />
growpart /dev/mmcblkX Y<br />
resize2fs /dev/mmcblkXpY<br />
where X is the storage device and Y is the partition number (viewable from <code>lsblk</code>).<br />
<br />
If you get any errors about missing or unknown commands, use <code>apt-cache search</code> to find and install the needed software. Also don't forget to use <code>sudo</code>.<br />
<br />
====Using Parted ====<br />
<br />
Parted's interactive mode and resize work well together. Do this before you put your microSD card into the PinePhone for the first time for best results.<br />
<br />
sudo parted /dev/<your_sd_card_device><br />
(parted) resizepart 2 100%<br />
(parted) quit<br />
sudo resize2fs /dev/<the_second_sd_card_PARTITION><br />
<br />
=== Resize from within PinePhone ===<br />
<br />
eMMC: you would need to resize the partition on eMMC (flashed with the operating system) by booting another image from the microSD card: that way, the eMMC will be unmounted. It is '''not recommended''' to resize eMMC while booted from eMMC! Resizing a currently mounted partition can have weird results. If you booted from the microSD card, you can follow the above guidelines on how to resize from a computer. <br />
<br />
MicroSD card: It is generally not possible to boot from eMMC to partition the unmounted microSD card, because of the boot order - you would have to write the image to the empty microSD card first, then resize partition, all without rebooting. It is also '''not recommended''' to resize the microSD card while booted from microSD card! Resizing a currently mounted partition can have weird results.<br />
<br />
== Reuse SD card for data storage on system booting from eMMC==<br />
Once you have installed your release of choice to eMMC, you may wish to use an microSD card for data storage. If you choose to re-use a card you have previously used to boot from, you will find your phone will not boot if you just reformat the card and insert it. This is because the Allwinner firmware in the PinePhone uses some (normally) unused space at the front of the microSD card to store boot software, which you need to clear.<br />
<br />
This can be done as follows on any linux system:<br />
lsblk<br />
to check the device of your microSD card – as an example lets assume it is /dev/mmcblk0<br />
then<br />
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<your_sd_card_device> bs=8k seek=1 count=4<br />
will clear the relevant sectors of your card.<br />
