   pmt flash boot_a /sdcard/twrp/boot.img -c /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name
   pmt format system_a ext4 --logical
   pmt -c /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name --list

Some notes

• pmt supports multiple languages. See languages.
• Add language.
• Feel free to ask any questions you want.
• Packages are available in publications.
• If the logical partition flag is not used, a classic partition is tried to be processing by default.
• Click to see special version changes.
• We are always open to your suggestions and support (developing)!

How is it built?

Make or Android NDK is required to build.

Build with NDK

• Download Android NDK and extract the NDK package.
• Clone this repository. And get access to it.

git clone https://github.com/ShawkTeam/pmt -b 2.8.0
cd pmt

• Set the NDK working directory variable.

make gen-ndk-makefiles
# If you fail the audit etc, use FORCE_GEN.
# Example:
    make gen-ndk-makefiles FORCE_GEN=true

# Required by Android NDK
export NDK_PROJECT_PATH="${PWD}"

• Go to the NDK directory and start the build

# Required for creating clang version information and directory access
export NDK_ROOT_DIR="${PWD}"
cd "${NDK_PROJECT_PATH}" \
&& bash build/bash/gen-header \
&& cd "${NDK_ROOT_DIR}"

# Start build
./ndk-build

• The output files will be inside the pmt folder. Binaries are available in two architectures within the libs folder. arm64-v8a (64-bit) and armeabi-v7a (32-bit).

Build with Makefiles

# Setup environment
pkg update \
&& pkg upgrade -y \
&& pkg install make clang binutils xz-utils -y

# Start build
make

# To specify clang, just use PMT_CXX=<clang++> next to the command (and same logic in AR)
# Example:
    make PMT_CXX=${PWD}/../toolchain/bin/clang-18
    make PMT_AR=${PWD}/../toolchain/bin/ar
    make PMT_CXX=${PWD}/../toolchain/bin/clang-18 PMT_AR=${PWD}/../toolchain/bin/ar

# Speficying extra compiler flags on cmd. Example:
    make PMT_EXTRA_CXXFLAGS="-O2"

# Use termux :D

# Cleaning working directory
make clean

# Rebuild
make rebuild

# Install
make install

# Uninstall
make uninstall

# Re-install (install & uninstall)
make reinstall

• For the make installable debian package:

make deb <ARCH_NUM>

# Examples
    make deb FOR_THIS=64
    make deb FOR_THIS=32

How to use

# Run
/system/bin/su

• If you have installed the deb package of pmt, installed it with a makefile, or installed it to $PATH using any path, just the name of the pmt is enough (or the file name if you did it manually)

pmt <...>

• If you have not done this type of institution, pmt is in the directory where you are present you can run with ./.

./pmt <...> # or whatever the file name is

Notes

If you want to change something, take a look at the configuration. You can change him. it is located in the build/config folder. His name is env.mk. I gave the information in the file. You can ask more.
