asus-flo missing: qcom-apq8064-asus-nexus7-flo.dtb

Hello, this is my first attempt at installing postmarketos. Please don't be angry if I did something wrong.

Describe your issue

When I run pmbootstrap install --filesystem f2f it aborts after some time and asks for a file called qcom-apq8064-asus-nexus7-flo.dtb that does not exist.

What's the expected behaviour?

The installation should be continued.

What's the current behaviour?

The installation terminates with the following error:

==> kernel: device-tree blob operations
ERROR: File not found: /usr/share/dtb/qcom-apq8064-asus-nexus7-flo.dtb
2022/06/06 21:00:54 'boot-deploy' command failed
2022/06/06 21:00:54 bootDeploy: exit status 1
ERROR: postmarketos-mkinitfs-1.4.1-r5.trigger: script exited with error 1

How to reproduce your issue?

I followed the instructions in the wiki: asus-flo asus-grouper

I have executed these commands:

pmbootstrap init
pmbootstrap status
pmbootstrap install --filesystem f2fs

What device are you using?

asus-flo 32GB model (currently running Ubuntu Touch)

On what postmarketOS version did you encounter the issue?

  • edge (master branch)

  • v21.12

  • v22.06

  • I confirm that the issue still is present after running sudo apk upgrade -a

On what environment did you encounter the issue?

  • Phosh
  • Plasma Mobile
  • Sxmo (Wayland/Sway)

Other
