An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
Wow! Looks like its been a busy weekend.


For those people having trouble with dptx.bin I noticed that @NigelT has posted how to fix this. Also @xmixahlx has posted some feedback on ways to improve the script. I did fix the ARCH=armhf bug since that was pretty crass but for now I've left the rest alone... I will be hacking on my PineTime for a bit longer yet! However I will still be reviewing github pull requests so if anyone wants to look at further fixes and improvements then PRs are very welcome!

Also @amp asked about the status of the upstream Debian installer. AFAIK at the moment there are still too many pieces missing to get very far (PineBook bootloader is missing some useful features and I don't think the kernel patch to enable the display will arrive until v5.6). I spent sometime over Christmas working on the bootloader but I have been overtaken by events and will eventually take a fresh look.
