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.

Important Note

Configuration

Display

Audio

Needs SOF (Sound Open Firmware) version v1.9 or later.

As of 2023-03-05, Debian Bullseye has the "firmware-sof-signed" package, but it is only v1.7. So instead of this, I downloaded v1.9.3 from github (tarball: sof-bin-v1.9.3.tar.gz, sha256sum 8188edc8929dbf7a0c527a451503f4b2af71137a8479f71be1852fad49dc5ba3) and installed it as instructed via sudo ./install.sh v1.9.3. Note that the install script requires rsync so be sure to install it first.

WiFi

Needs iwlwifi firmware.

As of 2023-03-05, Debian Bullseye has the "firmware-iwlwifi" package version 20210818-1, but this version doesn't contain the firmware files needed for this wifi adapter.

I downloaded linux-firmware-20220913.tar.gz from git.kernel.org (sha256sum 9cdc48bd2763f1a2d908a2860670658cf669544a270cb0928d6f9a6201584617), and then copied the following two files directly to /lib/firmware/: 

a5d7cc6a6c7748e570e0094032045122d7a5a76f6fde2e7b2f1ad1048575896a  iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0-71.ucode
4646554d1b1cece325f559b34baed9c3399e3c623c83983660975033e0e23594  iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0.pnvm

I also installed Linux kernel 5.18 via backports. I believe this is necessary for this wifi adapter (although I didn't actually try the above firmware with the original Bullseye 5.10 kernel).

Bluetooth

As of 2023-03-05, Debian Bullseye has the "firmware-iwlwifi" package version 20210818-1, but this version doesn't contain the firmware files needed for this bluetooth adapter.

I downloaded linux-firmware-20220913.tar.gz from git.kernel.org (sha256sum 9cdc48bd2763f1a2d908a2860670658cf669544a270cb0928d6f9a6201584617), and then copied the following two files directly to /lib/firmware/intel/:
