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 [https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/ "Generic ARM" aarch64 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.
