Not the pinephone as such, but had seL4test running on the Pine A64
SBC at one point. That's the same SoC I believe.
I never got most of the peripherals working though; nor did I manage
to get a VMM up to run a Linux payload.
For a working phone, you'd need to have something for userspace: a
basic Linux system and the utilities for making/receiving calls and
SMS at the very least.
