      Hello,
      I am currently experimenting with flashing the OS. So far managed to make it work only with the ubuntu gnome version (others have problems, not the point of this post).
      Wanna use laptop with the encryption. What I've managed:

      • got default loader
      • partition encrypted with cryptsetup via cable
      • ext4 is inside, can copy/past/create anything there like no tomorrow
      • used rsync to copy everything from ubuntu.img (from Onedrive, it works without encryption) to this partition (balenaEtcher-1.18.11-x64 was throwing errors) with:
      rsync -a
      
      • dd always broke partition (but encryption was intact) => used rsync -a instead

      So I am currently ready to boot, but loader is unable to start decryption process. I did not find any info regarding this in coolpi loader.

      Did I miss something?
      Will this setup even work when I switch to different loader?

      Looking at the original uboot at this moment. Any advice/kick into the right direction will be appreciated.

      PS: first time experimenting with ARM, custom kernels, flashing, ...

        @kaktus The current loader does not support decrypting boot partition.
