No HDMI output on standard Debian install / no boot - sagada - 09-01-2020

Good morning

First of all sorry if this has been answered but all my searches on the forum related to the rock64 or pinebook, found noting for the A64-LTS

Recently i've got a Pine A64-LTS board and tried to perform a standard Debian install following the instructions on the wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/PINE64/PINEA64

I've tried now with all the .dtb files for pine devices, sun50i-a64-pine64-lts.dtb, sun50i-a64-sopine-baseboard.dtb ... the board still looks dead, no HDMI output.

Any clue can I be doing wrong?. A64-LTS does work with standard Debian right?

I've succesfully booted the board with armbian, so it isn't dead, but really need to perform a Debian standard install...

Thanks in advance for the answers and sorry for the "engrish"

Until I find how to perform myself an install I found this web that provides funtional images to boot a standard Buster system:

Hope this helps anyone who has the same problem.

Debian does not provide u-boot firmware for the A64-LTS, it only does for the A64(+). The easiest way to get it working is to compile your own u-boot and use that instead. However, you can't use the packaged u-boot then.
