Remove outdated links.
For further details please visit Tripole's Gitlab. There are links for pre-built Debian Bullseye, Ubuntu-Jammy, Ubuntu-Kinetic, Arch Linux Arm64 and also guides on how to convert linux images to be bootable using u-root-bootdisk or petit-bootdisk.
Some of the Tripole pre-built images have a unique feature where it allows you to install multiple linux kernels and you can select which kernel to boot up using u-root-bootdisk or petit-bootdisk or you can also use u-boot to boot up.
Update: 2022-06-11 -- Non-Chainloader Version:- "u-root-bootdisk-nc_0v2.img.gz"
@tripole had developed another "u-root-bootdisk-nc_0v2". The "nc" stands for NO Chainloader, meaning the u-boot.ext is not required for booting up the "u-root-bootdisk".
The advantages of the No Chainloader "u-root-bootdisk" are:
- Faster Boot Speed
- Boot from any USB Ports on GT King Pro.
- Both "u-root-bootdisk-nc_0v2" USB Flash and your UEFI image on USB Flash can be inserted into the GT King Pro USB Ports and power up.
- Reboot, in a sense work as it will return you to the menu where you select which UEFI image kernel to boot.
- In theory it will allow more Amlogic TV Boxes to be able to work with this "u-root-bootdisk-nc" as the search for the correct chainloader for the device no longer required.
The downside with "u-root-bootdisk-nc_0v2" compared to "u-root-bootdisk_0v2" is that HTOP will report that the device has less memory available.
For example, on my GT King Pro with "u-root-bootdisk_0v2", HTOP will report available RAM as 3.66GB and with 'u-root-bootdisk-nc_0v2", HTOP will report available RAM as 3.23GB.
