First follow the [[NixOS_on_ARM#Installation|generic installation steps]] to get the installer image on an SD card. Copying to the eMMC directly should work, but requires disassembly of the computer.
 
U-Boot needs to be copied to specific sectors on the microSD card with <code>dd</code>. Download U-Boot for the board (<code>sopine-u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin</code>), and copy it to the correct location with (again, replace <code>/dev/sdX</code> with the correct path to the SD card device):


<syntaxhighlight lang="bash" style="clear:both">sudo dd if=sopine-u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/sdX bs=1024 seek=8</syntaxhighlight>

The internal storage needs to be partitioned in a way that that the bootloader will not interfere with nor be interfered by a partition.

Then, continue installation using the [[NixOS_on_ARM#NixOS_installation_.26_configuration|installation and configuration steps]].

Details about the pinout for the headphone jack are available [https://wiki.pine64.org/index.php/1080P_Pinebook_Main_Page#Pinebook_Schematics_and_Certifications on the PINE64 wiki]. It is [https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinebook-serial-console also available on their store]. The serial settings are the usual Allwinner settings.

On early models<sup>[Which?]</sup> serial needs to be toggled via software. On recent models, a physical switch is present on the main board. The linux-sunxi wiki's Pinebook page [http://linux-sunxi.org/Pine_Pinebook#Adding_a_serial_port has details about serial access].
