Tow-Boot 2023.07-007 for the Pinebook Pro, plus:

  • Backlight turned off at kernel handoff: no more garbage on screen between "Starting kernel" and the desktop
  • Tow-Boot screen at brightness 40/255 instead of 255
  • FDTOVERLAYS in extlinux.conf works (CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT_OVERLAY=y)
  • 1 s boot menu countdown

Status: tested, in daily use on my Pinebook Pro since 2026-10-13.

Files:

  • Tow-Boot.spi.bin: flash from Linux with flashcp (see the README; back up /dev/mtd0ro first)
  • spi.installer.img.xz: SD card installer ("Flash firmware to SPI")
  • SHA256SUMS
