Alpine Linux on NanoPi R6S - eviltoast

Hey everyone, I’m looking to replace my router with a NanoPi R6S but want to do everything myself from Alpine Linux.

I’ve been doing a lot of research and it seems that the chipset and hardware are supported as of Linux 6.3, but looking at Alpine’s ARM documentation makes installation sound a bit more advanced than I’m used to (specifically, the partition layout and U-Boot are confusing to me).

Has anyone gone this route?

    I’m familiar with writing images, but I’d be crafting it myself since there’s no official one from Alpine Linux for the specific SoC.
