As far as I know the official Debian kernels aren't built for SAMA5
processors (although they do have mainline Linux kernel support), so
you'll need to combine a Debian rootfs with a non-Debian kernel (one
you've built yourself, or a suitable one from somewhere else).
The Linux4Sam site is run by Atmel/Microchip and includes kernel source
(for their own dev tree), build tutorials and binaries. I don't know if
they still build binaries for older cards like the various xplained
cards, so you might want to start with an older binary, and then look at
replacing it with a newer kernel which you've built.
HTH,
Tim.
