Is there support for Debian's "Linux for ARMv7 multiplatform compatible SoCs" kernel (linux-image-4.19.0-6-armmp)--32-bit ?
https://packages.debian.org/buster/linux-image-armmp
Rockchip RK3399 doesn't seem to be listed:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel/ARMMP
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/a...-platforms
From the previous section (2.1.3. Variations in ARM CPU designs and support complexity)
"At the beginning of the ARM support in the Linux kernel, the hardware variety resulted in the requirement of having a separate kernel for each ARM system in contrast to the “one-fits-all” kernel for PC systems. As this approach does not scale to a large number of different systems, work was done to allow booting with a single ARM kernel that can run on different ARM systems. Support for newer ARM systems is now implemented in a way that allows the use of such a multiplatform kernel, but for several older systems a separate specific kernel is still required. Because of this, the standard Debian distribution only supports installation on a selected number of such older ARM systems, alongside the newer systems which are supported by the ARM multiplatform kernels (called “armmp”) in Debian/armhf."
It seems to me to be a better solution than a separate custom kernel, not tested/released by Debian.
