Arch Linux ARM

  • A minimal Arch Linux ARM image, it is set up as a single ext4 partition and only has the minimum packages needed to boot the Pinebook Pro and connect to Wi-Fi. The image could either be used as-is, or written to an SD card to use to set up an Arch system yourself on the eMMC.
  • The Pinebook Pro-specific packages are taken from Brian Salcedo's repository.
  • DD image:

Manjaro ARM

  • The Manjaro project offers a mainline kernel with patches and modules to support PBPro hardware in two flavors. Both provide DD images and installer images (DD to SD card which will then install to eMMC when booted).
  • To learn more about Manjaro please visit Manjaro Forum
  • Pitfall: When using the EMMC installer from SD card, you may get stuck on the bootsplash animation forever. But that's just the image masking the TUI (text mode user interface) installer. Just press escape after like some seconds or so, and you will have an easy-to-follow installer. See foum post: manjaro-arm-installer to eMMC
