What is the current status of Pinebook Pro?

 

I see there were Pinebook-Pro-specific install images for older version of Armbian, but there doesn't appear to be any for more recent versions, and currently, the download page points to (non-machine-specific?) UEFI install images.  Is this a transition that was discussed/announced, and can I read the discussion/announcement in archives somewhere?

 

Also, does anyone have any installation/testing reports?  Is 25.02 known to work on the Pinebook Pro?

 

I've tried a few different times to create a Armbian SDCard for my Pinebook Pro.  I've only had one success, one one of my early attempts.  Unfortunately, I did not take very good notes, and I've lost track of which downloaded image file I used to create it.  I still have the successfully-created SDCard, and it still works, but I haven't been able to create another.  When I inspect the contents of the good SDCard, it appears to be 24.8.1, and it boots via GRUB, but I'm not sure if it was made from a PinebookPro-specific image or a UEFI image.

 

There's plenty more testing I could do on my own -- my supply of SDCards is running low, and I should buy a few more, and in an assortment of sizes (successful SDCard was 32GB, some of the most recent attempts (which failed) were to a 256GB SDcard)
