On this disk I installed u-boot mainline (https://linux-sunxi.org/Mainline_U-boot) and nothing else. This allowed me to load the rest of the installation system from a usb disk, with the image for armhf processors. I had problems launching the system from the usb disk, because u-boot told me somthing about a ehci timeout. I booted 4 times my board before the installation process started. Maybe this problem is related to my usb disk or something missing in u-boot. Boh! The board does not have a network interface, so I connected a wi-fi adapter to make the system talk to my private network and Internet. After the reboot I connected an ethernet adapter, identified. The firmware for my wi-fi network adapter were found by the installer in the usb memory because I copied them here in a folder called "firmware". I don't remember were I took them, but probably, very probably, from my other system: a Lenovo with Debian Jessie (/lib/firmware). The installation process was followed from a serial console and I have to say that the graphic is not amusing, it's something confusing. -- Profilo: http://ehiahi.homenet.org/morpheus Blog: http://ehiahi.homenet.org/morpheus/blog Membro del LIFO: http://www.lifolab.org/ Membro del LinuxVar: http://linuxvar.it/ Amico del GL-Como: http://www.gl-como.it/
