There are u-boot images for related platforms: https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/daily/u-boot/ Might be a one-liner to add A64-OLinuXino for debian-installer. Those can be used with the EFI boot media on USB: https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/daily/netboot/mini.iso It might be worth exploring setting up proper SDCard images too, since having to have two different media is a bit annoying. Though I know there's some reluctance to introduce non-EFI booting on arm64, there are a handful of platforms which just work a lot better using u-boot and the .dtb shipped with the booted kernel version. And the allwinner ATF implementation media offset conflicts with GPT, which our current EFI images use... As usual, it's always a lot harder than anyone feels like it should be. :/ live well, vagrant
