Fedora on Pinebook Pro
#

Some stuff I did after installing Fedora on my Pinebook Pro.

howto from nullr0ute

sudo dnf install arm-image-installer uboot-images-armv8
sudo spi-flashing-disk --target=pinebook-pro-rk3399 --media=/dev/sdb

Now remove the mSD card from your host and put it into the Pinebook Pro. Press the power button, from experience you likely need to press and momentarily hold and in a second or two the display will light up with text output. Interrupt the boot by pressing space. Next up we write out the flash:
