Has anyone tried tow-boot on the RPI4? I have tied u-boot for the rpi4 in the past, but it does not like my choice of keyboard… hoping that maybe tow-boot can or will support it.
Tow-boot is just u-boot with some patches to change some behavior and in some cases add a bit more support stuff.
As far as I know, tow-boot for the rpi4 is just a u-boot variant.
The patches tow-boot uses in their rpi4 builds:
Hmm, does not seem promising for support my keyboard. Nothing else seems to complain about the keyboard, not sure u-boot does. Guess I will need to dig in to find out why and try to get patches added.
first install generic-image or storage-img? does xxx.bin need?
ok, dd storage-img to sd-card then install generic-image, reboot.
menu pop up but can not boot from sd-card, some sequence wrong?
ps. figure out keyboard work^^
im wrong, generic-image did not bring up welcome setup menu and keyboard fail.
That is not good news. I hoped tow-boot would be generous with the keyboard support. I have no issues with any other software, just u-boot.
One article dealing with Tow-boot and Pinephine and Manjaro:
