Right now the flashing logics I've get setup sends an initial tiny bootstrap image to the tablet's memory that than gets flashed. Once the bootstrap system is in, it can be setup. Since the pmbootstrap utility creates a much larger (~1gb) image, there needs to be another approach to flashing that doesn't rely on an initial bootstrap flash.

pmbootstrap already has (limited) logics in place for uuu since it was used to flash the Purism Librem 5 devkit, but for the most part uses fastboot, which mainline u-boot supports. Another option is to figure out a way for the tablet to appear as a block device just like on the rM2 recovery process.

More details on flashing on rM1
