Hi Alex,

do we want to integrate everything what Pinebook needs to our TW images OR we would like to have separate images for it?
I don't think it's possible to combine the Pinebook into an existing image, as it likely needs its own U-Boot with matching Device Tree.
That leaves us with two options:
a) Derive a new separate image once all needed packages are in place. As long as arm-trusted-firmware is not in Tumbleweed, such an image can only live in some Contrib repository, not officially part of Tumbleweed.
The Pinebook is based on the Pine64. The most important difference is the eMMC and the missing Ethernet. I think it should be possible to run the Pine64 image on the Pinebook, although without any graphics. The UART which on the Pine64 is exposed on the Euler and EXP connector (PB8/ PB9) is available on the headphone port when either "SW11" is closed or PL10 is set to "High". When you connect a USB-Ethernet dongle, it should fetch an IP address via DHCP, and you should be able to ssh into it (login/pw: root/linux or linux/ linux).
