Step 1: Read about the Fastboot Method

Fastboot Method

Fastboot is supported by the board and can be used for installs. This is for advanced users who are most likely modifying/customizing source code and will need to download such updates to the board for test/execution. When installing Debian using Fastboot, you will have the option to install either the Developer(console-only) image, or the LXDE(Desktop) image.

Note: When installing Debian using the SD Card method, LXDE(Desktop) install is currently the only option, Fastboot is the only way to attain a Console-only Debian install.

This method requires the following hardware:

  • DragonBoard™ 410c with power supply
  • Host machine (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows)
  • USB to microUSB cable
  • USB Mouse and/or keyboard (not required to perform flash)
  • HDMI Monitor with full size HDMI cable (not required to perform flash)

Step 2: Download Debian Bootloader and Boot file

Step 3: Download ONE Root File System

Note the location of all downloads, they will be needed once you access your instruction set


Step 3: Choose your host computer to access your instruction set
