Install Tow-Boot onto Pinebook Pro SPI

1. Get binaries:

   $ wget https://github.com/Tow-Boot/Tow-Boot/releases/download/release-2022.07-006/pine64-pinebookPro-2022.07-006.tar.xz
   
   $ sha256sum pine64-pinebookPro-2022.07-006.tar.xz
   a0832cf8dcc04ac33da20e9f66369e57948b948fd52ffa7ae7d892e18a9421dc  pine64-pinebookPro-2022.07-006.tar.xz
   
   $ 7z x pine64-pinebookPro-2022.07-006.tar.xz
   $ 7z x pine64-pinebookPro-2022.07-006.tar
   
   $ cd pine64-pinebookPro-2022.07-006/binaries/
   
   $ sha256sum Tow-Boot.spi.bin
   0151640029e5e47a43d9c6b559567242555f8d82ee3e0c44c8f53cd89b8619b0  Tow-Boot.spi.bin
   

2. (Risky) Directly write unto SPI:

   $ sudo dd if=Tow-Boot.spi.bin of=/dev/mtd0
   

Put Debian image onto USB

1. Download checksum and signature files:

   $ wget https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/arm64/jigdo-cd/SHA256SUMS
   $ wget https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/arm64/jigdo-cd/SHA256SUMS.sign
   

2. Do a jigdo download,

   $ sudo apt install jigdo-file
   $ jigdo-lite
   

   using the following parameters when prompted:

   • URL: https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/arm64/jigdo-cd/debian-12.2.0-arm64-netinst.jigdo
   • Files to scan: (none)
   • Debian mirror: (default)

   This results in debian-12.2.0-arm64-netinst.iso.

3. Verify the image:

   $ gpg --keyserver hkps://keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key DF9B9C49EAA9298432589D76DA87E80D6294BE9B
   gpg: key DA87E80D6294BE9B: public key "Debian CD signing key <debian-cd@lists.debian.org>" imported
   gpg: Total number processed: 1
   gpg:               imported: 1
   

   $ gpg --verify SHA256SUMS.sign SHA256SUMS
   gpg: Signature made Sun 08 Oct 2023 04:24:50 AWST
   gpg:                using RSA key DF9B9C49EAA9298432589D76DA87E80D6294BE9B
   gpg: Good signature from "Debian CD signing key <debian-cd@lists.debian.org>" [unknown]
   gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
   gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
   Primary key fingerprint: DF9B 9C49 EAA9 2984 3258  9D76 DA87 E80D 6294 BE9B
   

   $ sha256sum debian-12.2.0-arm64-netinst.iso
   7b8f2ff9bd422fc1cba7d5978bace17ecf48ba23842e7e7e13b0d8ba502a7556  debian-12.2.0-arm64-netinst.iso
   

   All good.

4. Write to USB:

   $ sudo cp debian-12.2.0-arm64-netinst.iso /dev/sda; sync
