Unless you mean something else by "USB recovery".
Yes, I do, the rockchip recovery doesn't expose mass storage, that
must be a tow-boot thing, hence why I discounted that. The rockchip
recovery isn't dependent on software.
What is "Rockchip recovery"? Do you mean this:
https://github.com/rockchip-linux/recovery ? I think that's some sort of
"Android recovery" thing? How is that relevant to Fedora? Why would you
want some Androidism rather than Tow Boot's USB mass storage mode?
It runs from MASKROM so it's low level recovery, it's a means of
recovering the firmware to recover bricked devices, the OS is
irrelevant.
Reading about Rockchip recovery for other devices, it seems that
presents the device as a nonstandard USB device that requires a
vendor-specific driver and userspace tooling. I don't understand what
advantage this has over Tow Boot where you can just press Power + Volume
Up to expose the eMMC as a USB mass storage device then use good old
fashion dd.
You're completely missing the point, it's for base level recovery for
even if the firmware is hosed. It's designed for recovery even if the
firmware breaks, so it could be used to recover tow-boot too.
Considering I've never heard anyone, including the people working on Tow
Boot, mention this with regard to the Pinephone Pro, I don't see how
this is relevant. In the worst case you can press the RE button to
disable the eMMC and it will boot from an SD card, which you can use to
run the Tow Boot installer to flash it to the SPI flash.
Anyway, back to stuff that does matter for Fedora, can ImageBuilder
currently produce raw UEFI bootable images or not? If it can, why
doesn't that show up as an option when I run `composer-cli compose
types`? Is there another package I need to install?
