Roadmap

• Kernel compiling
• Kernel loading (see issues)
• SSH

How to flash

Firstly, you need to unlock bootloader (See section below).

Enter fastboot mode (hold vol- and pwr buttons while turned off), and run this commands:

pmbootstrap init # if you didnt init yet
pmbootstrap install # if you havent done that yet
pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs # connect usb cable AFTER running
pmbootstrap flasher flash_kernel # connect usb cable AFTER running
pmbootstrap chroot fastboot reboot # connect usb cable AFTER running
