Basics of NanoPi R5C

Moderators: chensy, FATechsupport

Hi, I just ordered a NanoPi R5C. Before I get it and start using it, I would like to ask some basic questions. Hope someone can help.
1. I plan to use it for NAS employing OMV. First I would like to boot up it with Debian Bull's Eye. Is it sufficient to flash a micro SD card with the proper Debian image, plug the micro SD card into the slot and simply start the unit?
2. There is a wiki about the OMV6 on NanoPi. However, I didn't find the instructions of how to install it on the R5C. I have installed OMV on Raspberry Pi by using the scripts that they provided. Is there an scripts for R5C as well.
Your help is greately appreciated!
Thank you very much.
