== Device-specific notes
|
|
|
|
=== Building a full disk image
|
|
|
|
This platform uses the `u-boot` system-type. This means that a full disk image
|
|
can be produced, and this full disk image flashed _outright_ to the block
|
|
device. That block device can be the internal eMMC or the SD card.
|
|
|
|
The PinePhone will boot from SD card if a bootloader can be found. This means
|
|
that the full disk image can be flashed to an SD card, and it will prioritise
|
|
booting it.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ nix-build --argstr device pine64-pinephone -A build.disk-image
|
|
$ dd if=result of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=8M oflag=sync,direct status=progress
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== Building the boot partition
|
|
|
|
Building the full disk image may require a native AArch64 system.
|
|
|
|
The boot partition can be built, and then flashed on top of an existing Mobile
|
|
NixOS boot partition.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ nix-build --argstr device pine64-pinephone -A build.boot-partition
|
|
$ dd if=result/mobile-nixos-boot.img of=/dev/mmcblkXp1 bs=8M oflag=sync,direct status=progress
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== Building U-Boot
|
|
|
|
Flashing the boot partition will not affect the installed U-Boot bootloader.
|
|
|
|
U-Boot can be built and then flashed the usual way for Allwinner platforms.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ nix-build --argstr device pine64-pinephone -A build.u-boot
|
|
$ dd if=result/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/mmcblkX bs=1024 seek=8
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== Usage notes
|
|
|
|
==== LED
|
|
|
|
In the default setup, the LED has been configured to show status information.
|
|
Its colour or pattern can be used to infer the status.
|
|
|
|
During boot:
|
|
|
|
* Red as early as possible in our U-Boot build
|
|
* Yellow when our U-Boot "boot script" ran
|
|
* Green by the kernel whenever it sets it up
|
|
|
|
At any time:
|
|
|
|
* The red LED will flash on panic
|
|
|
|
As it does not reset the other LED colours, it may flash green/yellow rather
|
|
than off/red. If applications customize the LED status, it may flash in other
|
|
patterns involving red.
