Mobian

Debian-logo.png

An unofficial Debian build for ARM64 running with Phosh.

The current version of the base Debian system is Debian Bookworm.

Download:

  • Images (until the weekly images are built, you can download the PineTab2 image from here)
Note: U-Boot is required to be able to boot the images, see here!

Follow the instructions to flash U-Boot for the PineTab2 (you need a GitHub account to download it) to the SPI of your PineTab2.

If you do not flash U-Boot to the SPI of your PineTab2, Mobian images will not boot on it.

Notes:

  • The development is work in progress. Mobian's support for the PineTab2 is maintained by Julian. The Mobian wiki can be found here.
  • In order to connect to the device using SSH/SCP, you need to install SSH on the device. You can do this by executing the following in a shell: "sudo apt-get install ssh", afterwards you can connect via SSH/SCP using the PineTab2's IP address on port 22.
  • When installing Mobian with full disk encryption and booting with the keyboard case connected, you will have to touch the screen or press a key to show the decryption screen. This is an upstream issue.
