Fresh Debian Images for A20?

[Corto]

Hi,
can someone link in this topic some link to fresh Debian images for the Olinuxino A20?
The official one seems to be still at the 3.4 kernel version...
Thank you in advance

Check the Armbian server images. Go to the web-site and select your board and you will find the download links and instructions.

Also check in the official Debian wiki here: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Allwinner

If you don't mind not having the tweaks from armbian, and prefer having all "clean" you can get a fresh install from the official netinstall stretch.
You have to go with two device :

A micro SD where you'll put the "launcher" : "zcat firmware.<board_name>.img.gz partition.img.gz > /dev/sdX" both file can be found here : http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stretch/main/installer-armhf/current/images/hd-media/SD-card-images/

Another USB, I personnaly used an old 1Go USB stick (just make a partition formated in fat for instance, works) where you'll drop the install iso (as a file, no need to dd, it will get autodetected). You can find the stable installer here : https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/armhf/bt-cd/ (bitorrent) or https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/armhf/bt-cd/debian-9.4.0-armhf-netinst.iso.torrent (ddl).

Then just start with everything pluged, using UART (with the following command : screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
Knowing for the wires :
GREEN : RX (goes on TX)
RED : TX (goes on RX)
BLUE : GRND

...And you'll get to the super standard and known install process under debian. You should then write your system (at least /boot) on the "launcher" part (the microSD). All the other mountpoint can be in other places, like a HDD and such. It's a blast. When it works. é_è (got unrelated hardwares problems lately ;..

I'm just puting this here for me to remember too, I had some difficulty to understand "how to" from the documentation https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/armhf/ch04s02.html.en ; but in fact it's quite easy when you know.
