Official Debian support!

[andersh]

Please help, I run the installer from a micro sdcard on my ROCKPro64, complete the installation, press a key to reboot and... blank screen. Nothing. Keyboard and mouse don't light up, no activity. I created the install image via

Code:

zcat firmware.rockpro64-rk3399.img.gz partition.img.gz > complete_image.img

Do I need to have Tow-Boot installed to SPI?

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes you need either U-Boot or Tow-Boot on your SD-Card/eMMC-Module or SPI as the Debian installer does not install any of these, which results in a blank screen and nothing.

You can do this right after the Debian Installer has finished and you then go back to the shell and can install either of the two. And once you have flashed the bootloader you can reboot the machine.

You can use the link below as guide, but you need to amend the Build-Platform for the RockPro64.

Thanks.

Hi all, new RockPro64 user here. I have the same problem as Barugon. At the end of the Debian install, I can drop to a shell, but it's limited. Commands like apt are "not found", so I can't follow the steps in the link. Any pointers, please? The shell says BusyBox v1.30.1 built-in shell (ash).
