What I did for the odroid-c2 was download the debian-installer mini.iso: https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/daily/netboot/ And dump it onto a USB stick. Then at boot, I interrupted the boot process, and at the u-boot prompt: setenv boot_targets usb0 boot This of course presumes usb works for your platform. You might be able to do a dance with microSD or whatever by booting from microSD, yanking the microSD card, inserting a microSD card with the mini.iso installed, rescanning the mmc bus, etc. but that is obviously a lot tricker! live well, vagrant
