Description
[PINN](https://github.com/procount/pinn) is an updated fork of the now-deprecated [NOOBS](https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs). It's essentially a Linux-based (Buildroot) implementation of the features of the [Pi 4 and above EEPROM bootloader](https://github.com/linuxboot/book/issues/128#issuecomment-2838769726) that works on the entire Raspberry Pi family. PINN/NOOBS presents the user with a graphical environment that can be used to install one or multiple operating systems from either local sources or the internet onto the SD card. Also provides a boot menu to pick which OS to boot. Probably not implemented with kexec, but rather some Raspberry-Pi-specific ways of interacting with the VideoCore firmware.
