As long as there is no own image, you can use the Debian image from Friendlyelec (rk3528-sd-debian-bookworm-core-6.1-arm64-20241112.img) and turn it into a DietPi system afterwards. (generic device)

This is working on my NanoPi Z2 without issues.

I’m getting error messages when trying to turn it into a DietPi. Do you happen to have a small guide?

[Joulinar]

What exactly is your challenge? For me it was working without issues.

[c-bue]

I tried it with mentioned Bookworm Image and Generic Device method for DietPi today. It’s not working for me. The NanoPi Zero2 is not reachable by SSH afterwards. IP address is fetched by DHCP.

Don’t have a UART dongle to check the serial console.

I guess the FriendlyELEC image is of this type with 8 (or is it now 9?) partitions, no access to boot or kernel config, and an overlayfs as root filesystem, right?

[c-bue]

Yes you are right. It’s 9. A fresh IMG looks like this

@Joulinar how do you get it to run? Did you choose Dev, Beta or Master release of Generic Installer?

[sander030]

I haven't managed to get it to work so far, tried all three, none worked dev beta master > @Joulinar how do you get it to run? Did you choose Dev, Beta or Master release of Generic Installer?

[Joulinar]

just tested it again without issues. All default and standard, I used the option Flash Official OS to eMMC to install Debian image to eMMC initially.

[c-bue]

I can confirm. It’s working now. I had trouble with the ssh connect to dropbear at the end. Using OpenSSH now and all works. Thanks
