I would like to create a how-to file. If there is a usb-ethernet adapter available, then the steps could look like this:
source files
bullseye
Code:wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/partition.img.gz
bookworm
Code:wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/partition.img.gz
create img file
Code:zcat firmware.pinebook-pro-rk3399.img.gz partition.img.gz > complete_pbp_image.img
write installer on micro-SD
identify device name of micro-SD
Code:lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS
...
sdd 8:48 1 7.4G 0 disk
└─sdd1 8:49 1 130.5M 0 part
write to micro-SD
Code:sudo dd if=complete_pbp_image.img of=/dev/sdd bs=4k status=progress oflag=sync
boot pbp from micro-SD
boot and install on eMMC
firmware
add non-free
Code:sudo sed --in-place -e 's/ main$/ main non-free/' /etc/apt/sources.list
install
Code:sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firmware-brcm80211 firmware-misc-nonfree raspi-firmware
- firmware-brcm80211 holds some wifi firmware -- is this required?
- raspi-firmware holds brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin
- firmware-misc-nonfree holds rockchip firmware
If no usb-ethernet adapter is available, what are the necessary steps?
Would it suffice to download them, copy them to an usb stick and mount the latter on pbp
Cool: I just ordered mine Pro, in the meanwhile I am playing with Manjaro xfce in my Linux Box: By the moment I prefer Debian. I will follow your post here to install Debian once my Pro will arrive.
