bring card back to reader, can't mount it, wrong filesystem for both
partitions. Give up, write Armbian-jammie-full-desktop iso to card,
mounts ok, boots bananapi-m5 normally.

What did I do wrong?
As explained, this board is not supported by the Debian Installer and it
will probably never be since it requires a custom u-boot with
binary-only parts.

But if you recover the u-boot from an Armbian image then you can still
install plain Debian:

That probably works, but is a long & complex procedure for some not intimately fam with uboot. + I'm already using mmcblk1p1 for other purposes. Also the current jammy does not have the udev bug debian has said will not be fixed until the release /after/ trixie. Thats unfortunate because it disables many 3d printers from running the better klipper instead of marlin. klipper for errorless com demands the /dev/serial/by-id, matching the chipmakers SN to the exact board.

Armbian Jammy Just Works here and has been for months, where/what is the uboot bug mentioned in that blog? In this case, details matter, a lot.

Thank you.

(As long as you do not care about the SD card reader, at this point.)
