> I followed this tutorial in order to install the system:
> https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Allwinner#Installing_from_a_USB_stick
> My main disk is a MicroSD card pre-formatted with two partitions: a small one
> for boot and a big one for the rest of the system. 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.
