Fortunately the PineNote ships with a complete set of bootloader files and fixing the issue is a matter of a few shell commands:, which are flashing a working U-Boot to get MASKROM with magnet working on PineNote:

1. Login via UART-adapter or ssh, or use the Gnome-Terminal (found in the quick slots of the dashboard -
switch to BW+Dithering mode for faster screen responses):
1. Login via UART-adapter or ssh, or use the Gnome-Terminal (found in the quick slots of the dashboard - switch to BW+Dithering mode for faster screen responses):
* username: `user`
* password: `1234`

2. Gain root access by executing `sudo su - root` (the password is: `1234`).

3. Execute the following (two) commands (as root):

```console
cd /root/uboot

bash install_stable_1056mhz_uboot.sh
```

4. Turn off the PineNote by executing `init 0`

5. Done. The pinenote should now have a proper U-Boot installed, with rkdeveloptool-support and suspend.

The following releases are available for the [PineNote](/documentation/PineNote).

## Factory-installed Images

### Summary

* Pre-2024 PineNotes were not shipped with a working linux installation.
* Batch-2 PineNotes that started selling in October 2024 were shipped with the community-maintained, Debian-based, Linux image found here: [https://github.com/PNDeb/pinenote-debian-image](https://github.com/PNDeb/pinenote-debian-image).
* While the factory-flashed image cannot be freely distributed due to unclear distribution rights of the waveform, OS files without the shipped waveforms can be found in this release and a basically equivalent to the shipped images: https://github.com/PNDeb/pinenote-debian-image/releases/tag/batch-2-factory-image-wo-waveform
* Parts of the batch-2 PineNotes will be flashed with an updated OS version. Notes regarding differentiating between factory OS versions will be made available here in time.

## Debian

* A full GNOME-enabled rootfs/disc image is provided under [m-weigand/pinenote-debian-recipes/releases](https://github.com/m-weigand/pinenote-debian-recipes/releases). This image can be flashed using rkdeveloptool.

* A Debian-based minimalistic rootfs/disc image can be built using `debos` using the work from [Eugen Răhăian](https://salsa.debian.org/eugenrh). The GNOME image above is building on this work.
