Hi, eventually got my hands on a PinebookPro, installation went fine.
Prepard SD card for initial installation alike: mount /dev/${DEV}i /mnt mkdir /mnt/rockchip cp /usr/local/share/dtb/arm64/rockchip/rk3399-pinebook-pro.dtb /mnt/rockchip umount /mnt dd if=/usr/local/share/u-boot/pinebook-pro-rk3399/idbloader.img of=/dev/${DEV}c seek=64 dd if=/usr/local/share/u-boot/pinebook-pro-rk3399/u-boot.itb of=/dev/${DEV}c seek=16384 DTB and u-boot files are from following packages: dtb-5.7p0 Device Tree Blobs u-boot-aarch64-2020.07 U-Boot firmware looking at other Pinebook related threats, found that issuing set tty fb0 at the boot> prompt, or put it in /etc/boot.conf might help, but to no avail.
