I have a micro sd card that I want to install Debian (or Ubuntu in case Debian doesn't work) and directly boot and use it as my primary storage space (it is 256gb so would be sufficient).
How can I achieve this? I have not tried this before; so, any help would be appreciated.
The images I have tried from the Pine wiki, and flashed to the sd card have just worked, I used Balena Etcher to flash them.
( "Next I do want to try using the newest arm64 image from the Debian website".)
Are you planning to run from the sd card ? or install the OS to eMMC and simply use your sd card for extended storage ?
Instructions for both methods are covered in the wiki. It may be best to test first from the sd card in both case scenarios
(The PBP does attempt to boot first from the sd card.) If you are new to the PBP, Please see booting notices in the wiki.!
Have Fun, B.C..
