Get Trixie from SD card to internal storage on Pocket Reform i.MX8MPlus

Hi.

My i.MX8MPlus Pocket Reform stopped booting from internal storage after one of my many updates on Debian Unstable.

I found the Trixie stable image : reform.debian.net -- MNT Reform system images put it on an SD card and can now successfully boot.

I would like to now get the image on to internal storage but can’t seem to find a comprehensive step by step guide - just something AI spits out (which I would not want to use) or partial posts on the forum.

I’m unsure how much of the process running the reform-migrate script covers and how many prior steps I would need to follow.

If possible can anyone point me to step by step guidance from when the image first boots from the SD?

Thanks!

Hi @r0ss welome to the forum!

Do you want help with recovering that system? I hope you did not loose any data?

If you have this output still around (please do not send the same query again) I’d be interested in hearing what “AI” spits out for this.

You did the right thing by coming to this forum to ask your question. Unfortunately I think there does not yet exist much documentation about this. I think the best we have right now is this table in the handbook:

I think the command you want is reform-setup-encrypted-disk. You have a SSD, right? Could you please read the man page of the tool or its --help output and give me feedback whether what you read there answers your question? If not, I’d like to expand on the topics which are not clear to you directly in the documentation.

Thank you!
