Installation guide (all on the device itself):

 (1) Bootstrap Debian on USB stick, SD, or eMMC
 (2) Install busybox and initramfs-tools
 (3) Set MODULES=dep in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
 (4) Copy /boot/bootimg.cfg to Debian and configure cmdline[*]
 (4) (bind) mount /proc and /dev
 (5) Install abootimg flash-kernel linux-image-ac100

Alternatively, you can also do all steps on another machine, reboot
with the Ubuntu kernel into the Debian system and then run flash-kernel
manually to install the Debian kernel.

It's a bit complicated currently, because there's no boot.img available
that you could nvflash to the target device. But that's actually the
most complicated part, the rest is fairly easy.

Installation

Translation(s): none

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.
