This is 'safer', since my understanding is that it'll work on all librem5 variants, whereas the 'r4' dtb only works on Evergreen |

Jumpdrive
The swiss army knife of Pine64 devices (currently only Pinetab and PinePhone)
You can use this to flash a image directly to eMMC, troubleshooting a broken system, and a lot more.
Table of Contents
Installation
Download the latest image for your device here
Then use dd to flash the image to an SD card. Jumpdrive is pretty small, so there is no need for a large storage SD card.
Insert the SD card to the device, then boot it up, you should get a nice splash screen and you should see a new storage device after you plug the device to USB.
With the device plugged in, you can now flash a distro, or fix a unbootable installation.
WARNING: In case eMMC isn't showing up try to charge your battery and try again. There are reports of people not being able to flash to eMMC with discharged battery.
