Had the same battle with Rock64 and a Pinebook Pro. RPI has UEFI support (https://github.com/pftf/RPi4 https://github.com/pftf/RPi4) that makes the entire bootloader process so, so much simpler. I wish Pine would provide something similar for every chipset they produce. U-boot is too hard to understand/script, give me a standard UEFI interface that I can use with native linux tools like efibootmgr and systemd-boot.
- NoahKAndrews 4y agoLook into the Tow-Boot project. They're trying to replace the paradigm of distributions shipping their own hardware specific u-boot implementations with a u-boot platform firmware that gets saved to dedicated storage and presents a UEFI interface for distributions to use. A bunch of Pine64 devices are supported!
- yepguy 4y agoThere's Tow-Boot[1] for UEFI support. It looks like they support the Pinebook Pro but not the Rock64. I'm happily using it on my RockPro64, although I did need to disable USB initialization to get it to boot on mine[2].

- candiddevmike 4y agoWow! I'm glad I made some noise then, I even see odroid-n2 on there. This will help a lot, thank you for sharing.
