Instructions:
- Go to the download directory
- Download firmware.rock64-rk3328.img.gz and partition.img.gz
- Combine the 2 parts into 1 image file:
zcat firmware.rock64-rk3328.img.gz partition.img.gz > debian-installer.img
- Write the created .img file to microSD card or eMMC Module using dd:
dd if=debian-installer.img of=/dev/sda bs=4M

with your target drive. - Plug the microSD/eMMC card in the Rock64 (and connect a serial console, or keyboard and monitor) and boot up to start the Debian Installer
Notes:
- An Ethernet connection is required for the above installer
- Remember to leave some space before your first partition for u-boot! You can do this by creating a 32M size unused partition at the start of the device.
- Auto creating all partitions does not work. You can use the following manual partition scheme:
