Re: arm64 support?
Well, that's why I stick with Pis, because they're easy and fast
enough. You could look into debootstrap
https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap if you feel like an adventure. I
did it once on a phone. Or maybe you should use cdebootstrap
https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=cdebootstrap
Drivers for specific hardware will probably be an issue with the
Rockchips unless they're now available from Debian. Maybe you can add
a Rockchip repository to your /etc/apt/sources.list or enter it as
part of the installation process.
I think you just choose arm64 by using the --arch=ARCH option when you
start debootstrap.
I don't know of a ready to go image, sorry.

No, I won't call it "climate change", do you have a "reality problem"? - AB1JX
