Say I want to run this from sdcard, I download the script while booted from stock Debian and run it from terminal, just make sure I select the right device to install to? I saw a few pages back that the installer switches the naming of the devices where sdcard is normally mmcblk0 and pb64 is mmcblk1 it is opposite so I need to pick mmcblk1?
Edit: Disregard, I found the instructions on github. If I have issues I'll try to work it out then post here.
Don't just download the script. There are a number of files - firmware, bootloader, /etc/ configs - that need to be present, relative to your working directory.
Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/daniel-thompson/pinebook-pro-debian-installer
This will pull everything you need, into a directory "pinebook-pro-debian-installer" and doesn't take but several seconds on a regular home connection.
cd into the directory and review the README.md for script variables, especially BLKDEV and CRYPT options. Execute as
Code:
$ sudo ./install-debian BLKDEV=<var>
Then? Enjoy.
