Hello nice people,
my Cubietruck has been working stable for many years https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubieboar ... ubieboard3 and has been natively supported by Debian since buster. Since my originally used distri Armbian no longer supports the hardware (but there are still working automatic builds with bookworm), I finally wanted to switch to Debian.In particular, the hardware is perfectly adequate with 2GiB main memory & SATA with SSD for the existing tasks and much too a shame to scrap.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to manually load drivers (like usbkbd) after switching the U-Boot boot process to the "normal" boot process, because from this point on the keyboard no longer works and the output via the serial console also ends.
I followed the official instructions for the installation: Installing from an SD card image section of the source: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebia ... _Platforms
When I boot from the SD card created with this, I get an error-free boot process via HDMI. I get an error-free boot process that runs through to the installer.
In the installer, however, no operation is possible via a connected USB keyboard is possible.
A serial adapter connected in parallel does not help me either, as the character output ends at the point where the autoboot can be canceled via keyboard can be canceled -> yes, the keyboard still works at this point![🙂]()
Even if I abort the boot process as described and send the commands
via the connected working USB keyboard:does not change the result at all. The installer is not operable.
Does anyone have a tip for me on how to
1. how I can load the apparently missing USB driver when starting the Debian image after completing the UBOOT
2. how I can continue to operate the installer via the UBOOT process using the serial console (perhaps define the console differently?). I'm not really familiar with this?) - maybe there is something wrong in the setenv commands mentioned above? not specified correctly?
3. if nobody has an idea to 1. or 2. to which package I can report the report the bug to Debian ? ... installer (but which specific package? ), U-Boot, or something else ... ?)
many thanks for your support
Heiko
