A variety of howto's for PinePhone
 
Example of it working with mobian:
 
https://www.youtube.com/user/enterusernamo/featured
 
Summary:
 
After following these steps:
 
- You'll have a Custom UBOOT (Crust ENABLED) that allows MultiBOOT Using 3 different OS's depending on key combo of volume up / volume down or none pressing on boot
- You'll be able to experiment on SD Card without Touching your EMMC
- You'll learn how to take a part a PINE PHONE IMAGE (most, and put each OS On one partition
=========================================================================================================
 
 
All the information here, has been discussed in the open source community on web sites. I have simply developed a process on how to do this on the pine phone.
 
We use utilities such as Cross Compilation, Uboot, Patches, which will be credited.
 
First step, make sure you have a cross compiler for your Computer, for particularly the arm device, you will need to download a few packages, I assume we're using Debian Linux (if your using another OS you can find similar commands by searching on the web or to make it simpler download a docker Debian image, and install the pre-requisites which I will list here for Debian)
 
You an also use vagrant/virtual box VMware or other virtualization platforms.
 
 
First please install these Dependencies:
 
apt-get install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu g++-aarch64-linux-gnu build-essential autoconf libtool cmake pkg-config git python-dev swig3.0 libpcre3-dev nodejs-dev crossbuild-essential-arm64 git losetup rsync
 
The following main sources are needed:
 
This will download quite a few sources needed for Uboot and existing OS's available to PinePhone
 
https://github.com/crust-firmware/meta.git
 
We will also apply this patch:
 
https://megous.com/git/u-boot/patch/?id=0ab6225154c3d8b74f06fb3b181b52a9a64b4602
 
(I will attach the one I used I had to modify the above patch to work with the code.)
 
The crust-firmware also says you need to download the or1k compiler:
 
https://musl.cc/or1k-linux-musl-cross.tgz
 
I suggest untarring this in the /opt folder.
 
 
1. Once you have these dependency:
 
# cd /usr/src
# git clone https://github.com/crust-firmware/meta.git
# cd /usr/src/meta
 
 
Edit the following file Make file
 
# Cross compiler
CROSS_aarch64 = aarch64-linux-musl-
CROSS_or1k = or1k-linux-musl-
 
# General options
DEBUG ?= 0
REPRODUCIBLE ?= 0
 
# Board selection
BOARD ?= pinebook
 
 
 
Example:
 
# Cross compiler
CROSS_aarch64 =  /usr/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
CROSS_or1k = /opt/or1k-linux-musl-cross/bin/or1k-linux-musl-
 
# General options
DEBUG ?= 0
REPRODUCIBLE ?= 0
 
# Board selection
BOARD ?= pinephone
 
# make
 
(this should take a 10-30 mins depending on speed..I hope less than 30 mins!!)
 
After making apply the patch..
 
# make again
 
now, go to your sdcard
(use a CLEAN scard NO Partitions)
 
fdisk /dev/sd#
create 4 primary partitions,
the 1rst one should be the "boot" partition containing Uboot stuff, I'd suggest a gigabyte
the other 3 could be your choice
 
After creating partitions flash the image:
 
# cd build/pinephone
 
Do not use wrong drive, and copy exactly as this erases and puts the new Uboot on the sdcard
the first 512 sectors are partition you do NOT want to write that or you lose your partition
# dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 seek=8 conv=sync
 
 
make sure your disk is ok
 
 
# fdisk -l
Disk model: e microSD     
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x50fdd1d4
 
Device    Boot    Start      End  Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1            2048  2099199  2097152    1G 83 Linux

/dev/sdb4      127928320 251131903 123203584 58.8G 83 Linux
root@wifirouter:/usr/src#
 
If it looks like above its ok.
 
Lets start with the first OS were going to use:
 
JUMPDRIVE (allows booting the EMMC and fixing it if we break it!!!)
 
Download it here:
 
https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Jumpdrive/releases/download/0.4/pine64-pinephone.img.xz
 
 
then use losetup to mount the image to copy the files needed
 
root@wifirouter:/home/dave# losetup -P -f pine64-pinephone.img
 
it'll mount a loop back
 
root@wifirouter:/home/dave# ls /dev/loop0*
/dev/loop0  /dev/loop0p1
 
Mount there first image:
 
root@wifirouter:/home/dave# mkdir /media/jumpdrive
root@wifirouter:/home/dave# mount /dev/loop0p1 /media/jumpdrive/
 
mount the sd card:
 
root@wifirouter:/media# mkdir /media/boot
root@wifirouter:/media# fdisk -l
 
Your pine phone looks like this DO NOT TOUCH EMMC You don't need to

root@wifirouter:/media/boot# mkdir -p multiboot/jumpdrive
root@wifirouter:/media/boot# cp * multiboot/jumpdrive
 
 
End result should be like this ( this is complete file)
 
root@wifirouter:/media/boot/multiboot/jumpdrive# ls -la
total 4988

Now we need to create the boot.txt for uboot to load:
 
Your text file should look like this:

setenv kernel_addr_z 0x44080000
 
setenv bootargs loglevel=0 silent console=tty0 vt.global_cursor_default=0
 
if test "${volume_key}" = "up" ; then
echo "yes im here"
setenv devtype mmc
setenv devnum 0
setenv distro_bootpart 1
if load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} ${kernel_addr_z} /multiboot/jumpdrive/Image.gz; then
  unzip ${kernel_addr_z} ${kernel_addr_r}
  if load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} ${fdt_addr_r} /multiboot/jumpdrive/sun50i-a64-pinephone.dtb; then
    if load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} ${ramdisk_addr_r} /multiboot/jumpdrive/initramfs.gz; then
      booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r}:${filesize} ${fdt_addr_r};
    else
      booti ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr_r};
    fi;
  fi;
fi
exit
fi
if test "${volume_key}" = "down" ; then
echo "down"
ext4load mmc 0:2 ${kernel_addr_r} /boot/Image

booti ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr_r}
else
setenv devtype mmc
setenv devnum 1
setenv partnum 4
load ${devtype} ${devnum}:2 ${scriptaddr} /boot.scr
source ${scriptaddr}
fi
------
 
Compile the boot script:
 
mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d boot.text boot.scr
 
# cp boot.scr /media/boot/boot
 
This should now be working with JumpDrive..
 
# Now lets download PostMarketOS

now edit the boot.text
 
to reflect the changes of the images
 
 
 
 
edit the new boot.text file to look like this:
