Notes

See https://stealthgun.tweakblogs.net/blog/19830/gentoo-on-a-pinephone-pro for the documentation.

Download page

Note that images for the PinePhone Pro are in the "community" category of devices indicating some features may not work. You can also build your own image using pmbootstrap

Default credentials (regular images, not installer or pmbootstrap)
Default user user/147147

Notes

See the pine64-pinephonepro page of the postmarketOS wiki for details.

Various DPA Images

Multiple versions of unofficial images of various Debian-based distributions by the user DPA. They also contain some of DPA's own software.

Download

The latest successful image builds can be found here: https://repo.dpa.li/apt/dpa-image-builder/images/?board=pinephone-pro

Notes

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.

The build scripts can be found in various places: GitLab, my server, GitHub

In theory, these build scripts can create images for any Debian-based distribution which supports ARM64 and can be bootstrapped using debootstrap.
