Rk2Aw BootLoader & Multi-Distro on SD Card for PinePhonePro
References: https://xff.cz/kernels/rk2aw/rk2aw-rk3399-pinephone-pro/INSTALL and https://xnux.eu/rk2aw/
Requirements: SSH connection from linux machine to PinePhonePro, internet connection.
Note: Preloader and userspace utility to flash it are non-free.
Thanks: Megi at https://xnux.eu/log/

Rk2Aw BootLoader & Multi-Distro on eMMC for PinePhonePro
Make sure you boot from the SDcard in your PPP as we are going to be building the eMMC. Note that below, arch is booted from the SDcard and the SDcard shows as /dev/mmcblk1
Flash Rk2Aw BootLoader to SPI
Same as above. Note this installs rk2aw and a bootloader to SPI NOR flash. Resulting SPI status is as follows:
# ./rk2aw-spi-flasher Machine: Pine64 PinePhonePro (pine64,pinephone-pro) SPI NOR Flash: - Total size: 16384 KiB - Erase block size: 4 KiB - Write size: 1 - Manufacturer: gigadevice - Part name: gd25lq128e - JEDEC ID: 257018

Build multi-distro eMMC
In this example we are going to build 2 partitions on the eMMC, the first with Arch/phosh and the second with Arch/sxmo. We have already downloaded the images from Danct12 and decompressed them.

Follow-up comments
- On first boot neither phosh nor sxmo resized their partition - sudo resize2fs sorted that.
- Any time an update rebuilds the initramfs it is necessary to delete /boot/boot.scr again to keep the rk2aw menu clean.
- The end result is a boot screen as follows:
