Hi Sagar,

I believe you can simply create a Wiki Account yourself!

Regarding the Lime2, I happen to have made a script to simplify the 
process, perhaps it will be helpful/interesting to you:
https://codeberg.org/unicorn/alpine-a20-olinuxino-lime2/

This compiles upstream U-Boot with Lime2 board revision specific fixes, 
creates desired partitions and writes it to a bootable uSD card.

You may want to edit the variables around line 410 to the newest versions 
of u-boot, Alpine and alpine-chroot (have to update that), but that 
aside, it should allow very easy interactive or automatic creation of an 
Alpine installation onto a uSD card. :)

I also wrote an overly detailed (for beginners) text description of the 
process:

Best,
Edin
