A list:
almost all pine64 can not be installed with the official *.iso installer
rock64 - debian-installer refuses to boot
rockpro64 - debian-installer has to be on the SD-Card an the installation has to be done on the SD-Card. The installer remains on the SD-Card
pinebookpro with debian -no way but armbian did it.
I believe armbian is the first in line for arm
then Ubuntu
then debian SID & testing
then debian stable
So I have no excuses for the debian stable branch which is not even able to provide a proper and painless installer like amd64/i386_64
It looks like a strategy to keep people off arm cpu's.
Ant this is an ongoing pain in the .. since 2018 since four years...
In fact we are throwing 1/3 of our manhours away for silly and for the pro's simple tasks.
They did not even guess that grub and EFI is not a good relation.
I thought your post was about a non booting RockPro64. I suggested Armbian as a means of testing the board. This is a tinkerers board and the work needs to be put in to get a particular flavour of Linux to boot it. I'm afraid there's nothing else I can help you with other than what I previously suggested. Best if you contact the manufacturer directly.
