An unofficial Debian Installer for Pinebook Pro
#57
For those of you having trouble with displays via USB-C:
The installer seems to install from an old commit of https://gitlab.manjaro.org/tsys/pinebook-firmware.
You can verify that a firmware file is missing by checking dmesg.

To fix the issue, clone the above repo and copy the "rockchip" folder into "/lib/firmware" of your installation (RootFS partition).
Then it should work as with the official Debian 9.
