Install Armbian on a unsupported board that is Running Tina... have full dts


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

I want to understand the feasibility of installing Armbain on a board that is currently Tina Linux.

 

The board has an Allwinner R528 processor and an emmc .  The R528 is not a well known Allwinner processor but it is essentially a D1 with two Arm-a7 processors instead of a RISCV processor.  It also is a essentially the same processor as a T113-s3 but in a different physical package.  I see the mangopi-mq and the nehza have the D1, but I'm not sure it helps.

 

I have a full dts file (3000+ lines) for this board.  But what I am failing to get a grasp of is:

 

  1. Given that I that I have a complete dts file, what is the work flow to get Armbian onto this board?
  2. What other information and/or files do I need to successfully install Armbian?
  3. Am I "barking up the wrong tree" (i.e. am I asking the wrong question)?  Should I be looking to install a standard version of Ubuntu or Debian?
