Hi,
about 2 months ago I installed armbian[1] on my Pinebook.
Everything works well.
That would be great to integrate everything (Pinebook support) what
have armbian to us TW images.
But here we have to decide:
do we want to integrate everything what Pinebook needs to our TW
images OR we would like to have separate images for it?
I would like to help, but need to be supported from coordinator, who
has more experience.
Cheers,
Alex

Hello,
yesterday I finally got my 14'' Pinebook [1]. There is Ubuntu 16.04 MATE as a default OS, but I would like to use openSUSE TW on it of course.
So, I found raw.xz XFCE-image for aarch64 [2] and used this command "to burn" image on the microSD card:
All Aarch64 SBCs (Single board computer) I am aware of do not support UEFI boot, but require a (more or less) board specific boot image. For the Pinebook, your best bet is with the Pine64 Contrib image:
https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Pine64
But although this will likely boot, you will get much less than you might expect:
1. No graphics on LCD 2. No graphics via HDMI 3. Wireless may work - probably not
With some luck, HDMI will be ready end of the year, but this will *not* include 2D/3D acceleration nor hardware video decoding.
For the current state of the A64 support, see here:

Kind regards,
Stefan
