#postmarketos: #pinephonepro: u-boot & systemd-boot

seems like i overstated things a bit :/

existing installs don’t switch to u-boot and systemd-boot. when i flashed an img that had this, chainloading didnt work, but upgrading via apk does because it retains prior configuration

u-boot version: stuck until dd/fresh install

there is some talk regarding fwupd and partitions but that’d require another fresh install to get u-boot auto updating

a fresh install will likely prevent future problems

#postmarketos: #pinephonepro: u-boot and systemd-boot

just tried two different update methods (apk upgrade and fresh install) and it seems like only fresh install is using u-boot and systemd-boot whereas apk upgrade installs u-boot during upgrade, but doesnt actually use it?

maybe because resizing is not a safe operation on an existing install?

unsure if this will become problematic later on

edit: im just getting confused now. seems like tow-boot can chainload uboot? time for a break…

and merged!

updates shipping soon. remember, tow-boot must be wiped from the spi and the ppp is now using mainline u-boot!

also updated the wiki with vague instructions on how to fresh install

if someone can help improve that, it will be much appreciated!

edit: hmm… updated and it seems like tow-boot is fine? strange… maybe updating via apk preserves existing boot method?

The funny thing is that the battery of my Palm actually lasts longer than the PinePhone Pro battery, despite of the form factor.

Linux smartphone users, what phone and OS do you prefer and why?

I'm in the process of learning about Linux OS on smartphones with the goal of eventually using a Linux phone as my daily driver.

What features are most important to you?
What do you mostly do with your phone other than call/text?
What about mobile banking?? >_>
Which phone do you feel pairs best with Linux?

Screen reader users: I am so sorry for what you're about to experience...
