Maemo Leste
Maemo is a trimmed-down version of Debian for mobile devices, originally a collaboration between Nokia and many open source projects (the Maemo community) before Nokia abandoned it. The more well-known devices Maemo supports are the OpenMoko and N900. The community now takes full responsibility in developing fully open source Maemo for a variety of mobile devices. You may be interested to learn more about the features in their Maemo Leste FAQ.
Maemo 8 "Leste" is an ARM64 port of Devuan (Debian without systemd) and runs the mainline Linux kernel. The default user interface stack is Hildon, Xorg, Matchbox WM, and GTK.

OpenMandriva Lx
OpenMandriva Lx with Plasma Mobile as UI.
Download
The official image can be found at sourceforge.net. See here for the offical announcement.
Notes
openSUSE
Our images use the same openSUSE Tumbleweed base as our desktop images, except what needs to be changed for the PinePhone. The images include zypper (RPM) as the default package manager, and have access to virtually the same (open source) software as our desktop repositories, thanks to the Factory ports. Using dnf is possible, if preferred.
Download
To verify the images you need to import our GPG key. Keep on mind that the first boot may stay on black screen for about a minute - consequent boots should be faster.
You can find install instructions at this section in the openSUSE Wiki.

Notes
As of writing, official images are provided with Phosh, Plasma Mobile and Sxmo. The official images come in two flavors, either as a test image to try out postmarketOS, or with the installer.
When using the installer images (recommended), it is possible to:
- encrypt the installation
- install from the SD card to eMMC
Power users may also create their own image with the distribution's install and development tool pmbootstrap
.
See the pine64-pinephone page of the postmarketOS wiki for details.
Sailfish OS
Sailfish OS is a Linux-based operating system based on open source projects such as Mer, and a closed source UI based on Lipstick.
- PinePhone Wiki Page on Mer Wiki, for both Nemo Mobile and Sailfish OS.
- Linux kernel config repo
- Sailfish OS repo
Download
Flashing script
The Sailfish OS image is built on Gitlab CI. The latest image can be installed using the flashing script.
The script downloads the image and bootloader from the CI, extracts everything and burns it onto the SD card. Note: The script will format and erase the SD card!
Instructions:
- Download the flashing script
- Insert a microSD card in your device
- Make the script executable:
chmod +x flash-it.sh
- Verify that you have the
bsdtar
package installed - Execute it:
./flash-it.sh
- Follow the instructions. Some commands in the script require root permissions (for example: mounting and flashing the SD card).
- 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.
username/password
Set PIN on initialization.
Notes
- Sometimes the first run stalls before the tutorial. Reboot and it will start from setting the security pin.
- 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.
- When a screen with a loading circle is displayed, just left/right swipe it away.
- 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.
What works, what does not work
See the Hardware Support section on the Mer Wiki's PinePhone Page.
There is a limited selection of apps available from the Jolla store, the vast majority are hosted on openrepos.net. If the Storeman app for openrepos is not preinstalled, download the RPM and click to install.
How to contribute and report defects
See the Installation section on the Mer Wiki's PinePhone Page for compile, build and development.
Git repo links are at the top of this OS section. other repos that may be helpful:
- GitHub project page
- the repo of the flash-it.sh flashing script
- Mer Open Build Service page (Mer is being assimilated into Sailfish OS and OBS is shutting down, also see OpenStack is replacing OBS with another build system based on Jenkins, if it's related, even OBS come back under Sailfish OS, it will be different.)
See the Sailfish OS wiki for links to their forum, as well as info required when reporting an issue. See the Sailfish OS wiki main page for options to contribute to Sailfish OS.
Notes
OTA is supported: zypper refresh && zypper update
as root (devel-su
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.
SkiffOS
Minimal in-memory cross-compiled OS optimized for hosting multiple in parallel Docker containers. Provides the reliability of firmware with the ease-of-use of package managers.
Download
The repository and instructions can be found here.
Notes
Upgrade over-the-air via a simple rsync script, or copying 3 files.
Uses the Buildroot cross-compilation tool for support for all Pine64 boards.

Tools
There are software tools, that can be booted on the PinePhone.
JumpDrive
JumpDrive can be used to flash the eMMC (and the microSD card), see PinePhone Installation Instructions#Using JumpDrive.
See https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases for the latest image. Make sure to download the "PinePhone" image and to unpack the archive before flashing.
Tow-Boot
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.
See https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases for the latest image. Make sure to download the image with pinephoneA64 in the name.
Factory Test OS
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.

Installing other ARM64 distributions
General steps:
- 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.
- Format the boot partition with vfat, and the root partition with a supported filesystem like ext4 or f2fs.
- 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
rsync -ar
). - Edit
/etc/fstab
