Have you all tried this image? https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm6...ard-images
I think the included kernel is ready / almost fully ready.
I tried this out today and it actually booted with a virtual terminal command line installer. Nice! I wasn't able to install since it didn't seem to include the firmware drivers for the Pinebook Pro (and it seems to be a netinstall image) and I hadn't backed up my current Daniel Thompson's installer image, but it's still nice to be able to run *something* that's mainline Debian on my PBP.
Edit: I got back home and tried to complete the netinstall process, but unfortunately it didn't work; it failed the "Installing Software" stage and then after that the "Making bootable" stage, and after being forced to abort the installation it (naturally) wouldn't boot. I'm still glad the installer at least started, but it certainly wasn't ready to do a complete functional Debian install.
