Disclaimer:
Below is how *I* did it. It may not be how *you* do it, but is *a* way that worked for me.
Quote: Prep Work;
Install VirtualBox
Create New VM - General Specs;
Name: Debian
Type: Linux
Version: Debian (64-bit)
System Specs:
vRAM: 8192MB vRAM
vCPU: 4
Storage Specs:
vDisk: 80GB Dynamically allocated .vdi
Download Debian 10.2 AMD64 NetInstall ISO from https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst
Attach Debian 10.2 AMD64 NetInstall ISO to configured VM, boot…
Install Debian in VM;
During software selection I unselected;
- Debian desktop environment
- print server
selected;
+ SSH server
+ standard system utilities
Once install is complete, Reboot…
Log into new VM as root and copy kali_build_on_debian.sh to the root user's home directory
Run the kali_build_on_debian.sh script
There will be some interaction on packages and build, select defaults
Once completed, copy .img.xz file from the ~/arm-stuff/kali-arm/ dir to a system with balenaEtcher installed. I used my iMac.
Burn .img.xz file to an SD card # My resulting image was titled kali-linux-2020.1-pinebook-pro.img.xz
Insert SD card into Pinebook Pro and boot!
Build script…

This worked great for me. Note you'll need to dos2unix the build script if you copy from this forum. Otherwise I had no real issues. Thank you for the hard work!
