you must simply use something like 7zip to decompress teh file. Once decompressed you should have a full img to burn to sd card

Thanks for the replay.

I found the following procedure, is it right?
umount /dev/sdb1 
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1 
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/card 
tar ‐xzvf filename.tar.gz ‐C /mnt/card 
umount /dev/sdb1

I found the solution: 
1) download the *.img.xz file
2) unzip with 7zip (or similar) and get the *.img file
3) mount with win32diskimager (or similar)

Thank again!

thanks for all your hard and precious work lenny.raposo !

Seconded, Many thanks for the work that you have done! I'm now a happy user of Debian on a Pine A64 -- Followed the instructions and now I have verified that indeeed, I have a real 64-bit system in front of me!

Third, thanks Lenny.

Lenny,

Thank you for this! I have a quick question that confuses me. How does your image compare to Longsleep's found here: https://www.stdin.xyz/downloads/people/l...es/ubuntu/

I am trying to determine the most stable image to use for my Pine+ which is in the mail. I already wrote Longsleep's to my SDCard and am wondering if I should replace it with yours.

Thank you.

Both use the same 3.10.65 BSP kernel that longsleep compiled and maintains. The difference is that he is using Ubuntu 16.04 rootfs while I am devoted to the Debian 8 Jessie rootfs. I have also set up 3 different desktop environment images (Mate, XFCE, LXDE) and also the base without Desktop Environment .

Both Longsleep's and mine udpate from longsleep's kernel build (includes the same scripts pine64_update_uboot.sh, pine64_update_kernel.sh, resize_rootfs.sh).

For those who want more bleeding edge go with Ubuntu and Debian is just rock solid in terms of stability but the apps will nto be the most recent versions

Thank you! Lots to think about.
