Re: Nexus 10 Manta Mainline allows me to install Debian on my Nexus 10 ?

-> Great! Continue talking to them.

they don't reply to me.

-> https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ will give you a guide to
read once you know the architecture.

I found the architecture :

cpu = ARM Cortex-A15
cpu bits = 32
instruction set = ARMv7

source : https://www.devicespecifications.com/en/model/9bef283c

so,it should be armhf,right ?

I see no guide on the link that you gave to me. Can you point me to a more
specific link ? I need a tutorial that teaches me how to use the code
stored on the github of those guys. Thank you very much.

Great! Continue talking to them.

Find out if this is an armel, armhf, or arm64 machine. All three
are nominally supported by Debian, but booting is going to be
fun (i.e. hard) in most cases.

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/ will give you a guide to
read once you know the architecture.

Once you've got a kernel booting, you can build an installation
with debootstrap -- you'll want to build it on a different
machine, then copy the image over to whatever media the hardware
can use.

If I remember correctly, the Nexus 10 had a bunch of cases of
bad storage with very limited write lifetime. They are all 11
years old now, so be prepared for that, too.

Hello.

Please give a look here :

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/kernel-mainlining-manta-kernel.4461617/

it does not seem that it has been abandoned...it seems that there have been
good progress.

The utter lack of documentation, issues, and conversations
suggests that the attempt was abandoned. You should talk to the
person who has that github repo, but prepare for disappointment.

Nexus 10 Manta Mainline allows me to install Debian on my Nexus 10 ?

2023-06-27 Thread Mario Marietto
Hello.

Excuse me for the lack of knowledge,but with the code stored on the github
below :

https://github.com/alexmrqt/manta-mainline/tree/f4c38a7867f4e0e7481b71f96a0d0b4116b41c0f

Can I install one of the latest Linux kernel versions on the Nexus 10 ? And
also a Linux distro like Debian ? On the github above there isn't a
structured tutorial to do so,can you suggest one to me ? I'm not able to
understand what to do out of the blue. I'm really excited to try the
installation of Debian on my Nexus 10. thanks.
