# tow-boot: <https://tow-boot.org>

# LED and button behavior is defined here: <https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/blob/development/modules/tow-boot/phone-ux.nix>
# - hold VOLDOWN: enter recovery mode
# - LED will turn aqua instead of yellow
# - recovery mode would ordinarily allow a selection of entries, but for pinephone i guess it doesn't do anything?
# - hold VOLUP: force it to load the OS from eMMC?
# - LED will turn blue instead of yellow
# boot LEDs:
# - yellow = entered tow-boot
# - 10 red flashes => poweroff means tow-boot couldn't boot into the next stage (i.e. distroboot)
# - distroboot: <https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/blob/v2022.04/doc/develop/distro.rst>)
