DebianOn is an effort to document how to install, configure and use Debian on some specific hardware. Therefore potential buyers would know if that hardware is supported and owners would know how get the best out of that hardware.

The purpose is not to duplicate the Debian Official Documentation, but to document how to install Debian on some specific hardware.

If you need help to get Debian running on your hardware, please have a look at our user support channels where you may find specific channels (mailing list, IRC channel) dedicated to certain types of hardware.

Partition table must be msdos. Otherwise u-boot-install-sunxi fails. u-boot (2019.01+dfsg-3) only supports fat & ext{2,3,4}.

Boot loader must be installed manually under buster. install u-boot-sunxi and run u-boot-install-sunxi /dev/mmcblk2.

The default console is /dev/ttySO, so to see messages at boot time, /etc/default/flash-kernel}} must be adjusted by setting {{{console=tty0. When configuring a system with full-disk encryption, this must be done at installation time (via a shell, right before the "Finish the Installation" step), otherwise the password prompt to decrypt the drive at boot time cannot be seen.
