Skiff is easiest installed to a SD card. A tool can be used to flash the OS to the internal EMMC once booted to the SD card. The Pine64 system will boot from the SD card if it is present and contains u-boot.
These commands require root and may need to be run with sudo bash.
# set SKIFF_WORKSPACE if you previously set it while compiling.
export SKIFF_WORKSPACE=myworkspace
export PINE64_SD=/dev/sdx # make sure this is correct - i.e. /dev/sdb
make cmd/pine64/common/format
make cmd/pine64/common/install
The "format" command creates the partition layout and installs u-boot. This only needs to be run once. The "install" command copies the latest Image, dtb, boot script, initramfs, and modules image to the boot and rootfs partitions. The root system can be updated without touching the "persist" partition by running "install" again whenever necessary.
