| Since the 3.10.0 release, Alpine Linux includes [https://denx.de/ u-boot] support for the [https://pine64.org/ Pine64] A64LTS. Since the 3.11.0 release, Alpine Linux includes a kernel that is new enough to boot it. This page describes how to install the system.
| |
| | |
| The generic (u-boot) ARM image should be used. Make sure your sdcard is empty before you install Alpine Linux, as all it's contents will be removed!
| |
| | |
| # download the [http://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/v3.11/releases/aarch64/ generic ARM image] and unpack it somewhere
| |
| # write u-boot to the sdcard <code>cd <unpacked folder>/u-boot/pine64-lts && dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/path/to/sdcard bs=1024 seek=8</code>
| |
| # create a new partition on the sdcard starting from sector 2048, set it as bootable
| |
| # format it to ext4 (or any other filesystem that u-boot supports booting from)
| |
| # decompress (<code>gunzip</code>)the kernel image (<code>boot/vmlinuz-lts</code>) as the device's u-boot can't boot from a compressed kernel
| |
| # copy over the <code>apks</code>, <code>boot</code> and <code>extlinux</code> folders from the extracted archive to the new partition
| |
| | |
| Alpine Linux should now boot on your device. | |
