PinePhone boot order

ARM Technical Assistance
1

I have the PinePhone connected to an usb-c dock to be able to control it with a wireless logiteck K400 keyboard.

I want to flash the PinePhone from an USB stick attached.

If I boot the phone with this stick attached the Pine attempts to boot from the stick as the stick is seen as /dev/sda but of course the boot fail. The stick a bootable usb with a grub bootloader - intended for multiboot.

Note:
Default pin code for Manjaro PinePhone editions
123456

Note:
The mainline version of python-pyqt5 does not work. As per advise from @Strit in another place you need to install python-es2-pyqt5 and after that you need to reinstall manjaro-arm-flasher.

Selecting a image to download leads to an 404 Not Found message for the images.

Note:
Lomiri edition

In the flasher it is not possible to navigate to attached USB stick.

The stick is available as sda - but trying to mount it from terminal asks for password which is hard to get accepted - maybe it is locked by a desktop timeout?

The PinePhone can not boot from USB, as far as I know. Also, is the USB stick flashed with a PinePhone image? Else it wont work, uboot looks for certain boot scripts. Not GRUB.
The boot order is: SPI -> SD -> eMMC.

The default pin is documented in the release post of each new PinePhone image release here on the forum.

I thought I might have missed it somewhere - sorry.

The stick with grub installed using mbusb script.

But if it does not contain a uboot script, it won’t get booted.
