This article explains how to create a multi-distribution image on the PinePhone Pro using rk2aw.

Multi-distro on microSD Card

This article explains how to install megi's rk2aw loader, U-Boot to SPI and a multi-distribution image to the microSD card and/or eMMC of the PinePhone Pro. Further instructions regarding rk2aw can be found on megi's website under https://xff.cz/kernels/rk2aw/rk2aw-rk3399-pinephone-pro/INSTALL. Please note that loader and userspace utility to flash it are free, but not open-source.

Options to boot Arch Linux ARM, Manjaro and Mobian (kernel 6.1 and 6.3)

Flash rk2Aw loader to SPI

Connect PinePhone Pro to a Linux machine, start a ssh connection and download installer to flash pre-loader to the phone's SPI.

ssh <user>@<phoneip>
cd ~/Downloads
curl -O https://xff.cz/kernels/bootloaders/ppp.tar.gz
tar -xvzf ppp.tar.gz -C ~/Downloads
# scp -r ~/Downloads/ppp <user>@<phoneip>:~/Downloads # copy to phone, non needed
sudo ./spinor-flash-initial-setup.sh

Build multi-distro on the microSD card

If necessary wipe the microSD card

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb count=1 bs=32768 status=progress # quick way i.e. # 32GB SDcard (30989615104bytes/32768dim=1volta)
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb count=945728 bs=32768 status=progress # slow way i.e. # 32GB SDcard (30989615104bytes/32768dim=945728volte)
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb count=15271040 bs=4096 status=progress # 63GB SDcard (62550179840bytes/512dim=122168320volte)

Partition the microSD card

Note: A minimum capacity of 64 GB for the microSD card is recommended for 5 distributions.

Get image files of the distributions

Get the compressed distribution images from PinePhone Pro Software Releases, decompress them and mount both partitions "/boot", "/root" from each distro.

Change the directory to the Downloads folder.

cd ~/Downloads

Get images. Example releases (update the syntax to newer releases).

wget https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pine64-Arch/releases/download/20230203/archlinux-pinephone-pro-phosh-20230203.img.xz
wget https://github.com/manjaro-pinephone/plasma-mobile/releases/download/beta34/Manjaro-ARM-phosh-pinephonepro-beta34.img.xz
wget https://images.mobian.org/pinephonepro/weekly/mobian-pinephonepro-phosh-20230910.img.xz
wget https://images.postmarketos.org/bpo/v23.06/pine64-pinephonepro/phosh/20230904-0846/20230904-0846-postmarketOS-v23.06-phosh-22.2-pine64-pinephonepro.img.xz
wget https://gitlab.com/ook37/pinephone-pro-debos/-/jobs/4961858606/artifacts/file/ubuntu-touch-pinephone-unified.img.xz

Extract the compressed files:

xz -v -d -k archlinux-pinephone-pro-phosh-20230203.img.xz
xz -v -d -k Manjaro-ARM-phosh-pinephonepro-beta34.img.xz
xz -v -d -k mobian-pinephonepro-phosh-20230910.img.xz
xz -v -d -k 20230904-0846-postmarketOS-v23.06-phosh-22.2-pine64-pinephonepro.img.xz
xz -v -d -k ubuntu-touch-pinephone-unified.img.xz

For PostmarketMOS you can also use bootstrap to generate distro image.

Create 2GB empty image file, format and mount it.

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=postmarketOS-edge.img bs=1 count=0 seek=2G status=progress && sync
sudo mkfs.ext4 postmarketOS-edge.img
sudo su
losetup -P /dev/loop0 postmarketOS-edge.img

Build PMOS image via pmbootstrap

pmbootstrap init
pmbootstrap status
pmbootstrap pull
pmbootstrap install --sdcard=/dev/loop0

Mount the images:

sudo su # login with your psw
losetup -P /dev/loop1 archlinux-pinephone-pro-phosh-20230203.img
losetup -P /dev/loop2 Manjaro-ARM-phosh-pinephonepro-beta34.img

Build Arch Linux partition

Login as root, copy rootfs and bootfs to the partition. You need also to make some changes on some files.

Multi-distro on eMMC

Options to boot Phosh or sxmo

Make sure you boot from the microSD card in your PinePhone Pro as we are going to overwrite the eMMC. Note that below, Arch is booted from the microSD card and the microSD card is listed as the device /dev/mmcblk1.

Flash rk2Aw loader to SPI

Same as above. Note this installs rk2aw and a bootloader to SPI NOR flash. Resulting SPI status is as follow:

# ./rk2aw-spi-flasher 
Machine: Pine64 PinePhonePro (pine64,pinephone-pro)
SPI NOR Flash:

- Erase block size: 4 KiB

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

  1. On first boot neither Phosh nor sxmo resized their partition - sudo resize2fs sorted that.
  2. Any time an update rebuilds the initramfs it is necessary to delete /boot/boot.scr again to keep the rk2aw menu clean.
