- Installer can configure an encrypted rootfs and provides a choice of desktops, including the default Debian desktop based on Gnome 3
- Strict adoption of upstream Debian packages (with exception of kernel and bootloaders) in order to provide a clean upgrade path as Bullseye matures
- Download at: https://github.com/daniel-thompson/pinebook-pro-debian-installer/
- Pull requests welcome but for discussion and support please use the forum topic.
For more information, see the Pinebook_Pro_Debian_Installer wiki page
Official Debian Installer Images
- Uses only the upstream kernel and firmware without special patches
- No graphical display yet, works only through serial console
- Requires adding the non-free component to your /etc/apt/sources.list file and installing the "firmware-linux" package for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support
- Installer is loaded into RAM, can install onto the same media from which it’s booted
- Supports automatic partitioning and full disk encryption through LVM
- Installer currently doesn't install the bootloader, leaving the installed system in an unbootable state until it's manually added
The relevant files are built daily here and may sometimes be unavailable if the build system is having issues. The "README.concatenateable_images" file provides instructions on how to combine the partition.img.gz file with the firmware.pinebook-pro.rk3399.img.gz file in order to create a DD-able image.
The official images are not recommended yet until the display begins working and the installer properly installs the bootloader. Most users will want to see Daniel Thompson's Debian Installer instead.
