I've got a rockpro64, and I'd like to set my root device to be an SSD attached via the USB 3.0 port. I think to do that I need to add an initramfs that includes the usb_storage and uas modules, but no matter what I do I get "rootfs image is not initramfs". Can you give me a quick HOWTO (I'm pretty familiar w/ U-Boot and everything)? I could probably figure it out myself, but I'm strongly resisting breaking out the serial cable (and removing the case, and messing up the thermal paste, and having to buy more thermal paste, and blah blah blah).

I propose a simple approach:
kernel on sdcard with subsequent switching to usb ssd.
leave only the /boot directory on the sdcard
for this you just need to specify in /boot/uEnv.txt
rootfstype=ext4
rootdev=/dev/sda1
i boot from nvme as root:
Code:
/dev/nvme0n1p1 on / type xfs (rw,noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/mmcblk1p1 on /mnt/mmc type ext4 (rw,noatime,nodiratime,data=writeback,errors=remount-ro)
Yes, you do not need to get uasusb_storage wrapped in the initram
or build a kernel with these modules in the kernel
in order to use the initram you need to change to /boot/boot.cmd booti ${kernel_addr_r} - ${fdt_addr_r}
on booti ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${fdt_addr_r}
sndwvs , should I expect it will run at Pinebook1080?
Especially, I'm interested if the internal display works.
dreadbit,
This distribution works on any arm-v8 CPU.
To make money on Pinebook1080 (Allwinner A64), you need ayufan kernel or an official one, I have a given kernel, but under aarch64 it is not built. Аlso need a bootloader
