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


http://files.pine64.org/sw/pine64_installer/json/nextcloudpi.png
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:
  #1 - 34MB  Unused/Free Space
  #2 - 512MB ext2 /boot          (Remember to set the bootable flag)
  #3 - xxGB  ext4 /              (This can be as large as you want. You can also create separate partitions for /home /var /tmp)
  #4 - 1GB  swap                (May not be a good idea if using an SD card)
* See [https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/daily/netboot/SD-card-images/README.concatenateable_images README.concatenateable_images here] or [https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/main/installer-arm64/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/README.concatenateable_images README.concatenateable_images here] for details regarding the concatenateable images and their installation from non-Linux systems.

Debian

Debian-logo.png

Debian is an operating system and a distribution of Free Software.

Download:

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. Replace /dev/sda 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:
 #1 - 34MB  Unused/Free Space
 #2 - 512MB ext2 /boot           (Remember to set the bootable flag)
 #3 - xxGB  ext4 /               (This can be as large as you want. You can also create separate partitions for /home /var /tmp)
 #4 - 1GB   swap                 (May not be a good idea if using an SD card)
