Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a possibility to install Devuan on Nano Pi R1. Devuan is actually a Debian fork without systemd (Well, guys, please don't waste time trying to convince me that systemd is useful, for me it is not an option at all, I'd better try another board). Devuan port for armhf sunxi exists (installation image can be downloaded here https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/embedded/) and there are "addons" for different computers here: https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/embedded/u-boot/ .
As far as I understand, these are just u-boot images to be written right over the distro image on the SD card. For instance, I successfully let this port run on Orange Pi Zero, following this instruction: https://jrl.ninja/etc/4/
I suppose it must possible to create similar u-boot image for Nano Pi R1, too, so that Devuan boots and works on Nano Pi R1, but I can't find any glue on how to do this. Can anyone help?
