== Installation == to install Debian, you need UEFI installed on the board. If your board comes with that then life is simple. If not you need to follow the instructions below for installing it. This page gives good detail on how to get the board set up from scratch. https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/ConsumerEdition/HiKey/Installation/BoardRecovery.md |

Debian support
The HiKey uses UEFI, so Debian should work out of the box once there's a kernel.
Kilian Krause requested ARCH_HISI to be enabled in the kernel recently. However, it seems that HiSilicon Kirin support in the kernel is still very basic (e.g. no USB support).
Current bug list associated with the HiKey support:
Bug 816350 missing firmware for wlan support
