Jose Francisco Posted July 5 Posted July 5 Hello everybody. I own a Orange Pi 5 Plus with Debian and 3 partitions: boot, root and storage (fat, ext4, ext4). Now I want to try Armbian but I don't want to overwrite the storage partition, so I shoudn't use dd to write the .img file. Ant tip to solve this situation? Thanks. 0 Quote
Solution Igor Posted July 5 Solution Posted July 5 21 minutes ago, Jose Francisco said: Now I want to try Armbian If you have downloaded "Debian" from Orangepi site, you are already using Armbian. Only some slightly changed old version and without Armbian & community support. To try Armbian, you burn SD card and boot from it. No need to install it anywhere yet. To install it, just run armbian-install and select correct (root) partition. Since this is Linux and your are using 3rd party OS (and bootloader), backup of /storage is recommended before proceeding. Just to be on a safe side. 0 Quote

Its not in the best shape, but enough to get going: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ 0 Quote
