I'm not using Debian installer. I'm using FullPliant operating system installer
and upgrade tool.
I'm using FullPliant install tool to install Debian because it enables to just
boot form an external USB, then fill a single screen, or even just cut past a
single multiline field, or run a single command, then it runs and builds from
scratch (partition, format, debootstrap, etc) a ready to use machine on reboot.
It works for PC, Rasberry pi and Pinebook pro. I still have to push a new
Pliant release with this Debian install tool, but after maintaining Pliant
language and FullPliant operating system for nearly 25 years, I'm not in a
hurry, because I know mostly nobody want's to face what the FullPliant overall
system beeing only 200K lines of code tells us about current softwares slum
nature.
Back to our issue, in FullPliant bootloader install script, the lines specific
to u-boot are :
distribution_command "file:/" "dd conv=notrunc if="+(file_os_name
files:i:path+"idbloader.img")+" of="+file_os_name:disk+" seek=64"
distribution_command "file:/" "dd conv=notrunc if="+(file_os_name
files:i:path+"u-boot.itb")+" of="+file_os_name:disk+" seek=16384"
Sorry, it's Pliant language code, but you can guess the Unix 'dd' it truely
does.
I am asserting that the right u-boot is running because the version
2023.01+dfsg-2 dand the date january 18 2023 is displayed at the top of the
boot screen.

I do the opposite :-) Use the Pinebook pro in summer, when cycling, because it
consumes few and can charge from 5V power packs. This enables me to get no need
for a power plug for one week or so.
