Seems so: Olimex use that dtb in the pre-installed system. >> (but am not familiar with the packaging style of the u-boot source >> package (seems to not use common git-buildpackage style and no hints >> is provided in README.source), so I would prefer to leave to others >> to implement the change. > > Pretty standard package in some regards: dpkg-buildpackage, debuild, > sbuild, pbuilder should all work without any unusual incantations > (e.g. orig.tar.* in the upper directory).

Makes sense. Yes, Please do add me there as tester. I already built a test package - with _exactly_ the same patch as above (and your last commit in git applied too - which does more than just update the documentation so you might want to adjust when applying to changelog). Not tested yet, though - Will do that tomorrow (it is getting late now). > Unfortunately, arm-trusted-firmware is not packaged for Debian, and > the allwinner boards require using a vendor fork, so you will need to > build that yourself.

Right: After fighting blindly with several (stupid, in hindsight) attempts I checked out u-boot git and noticed your commit the 9th which I hope is the final missing piece to boot a purely Debian system for my TERES-I. > I've recently successfully tested the non-legacy process on a Pine64+, > which is similar hardware. Yes, I noticed some of your changes for that, and appreciate all your work on that: Obviously makes it far easier to then adapt to similar devices. Any chance you can make a release to Debian soon? I would love to be able to run pure Debian on my laptop when showing off my TERES-I at MiniDebconf in France next weekend. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
