AM625: Debian maturity

Tony Tang

Part Number: AM625

There is a debian .img file for making SD card, but there is not a debian SDK, while there is a user guide:

There is not Uboot/Kernel/Driver sections like that of Yocto build SDK, how to do that on Debian SDK?

Customer asks if the Debian is stable, didn't find test record in CI/CD:

Hi Tony,

As explained in the Overview section of the AM62x Debian documentation you referred, the Debian image for AM62x is created from the open source Armbian project, there is no such a Debian SDK.

this page explains how to build Debian packages, including U-Boot and kernel.

The Debian/Armbian project is quite different from Yocto project. Unlike Yocto in which every package is complied from source code by end users, in Armbian, every package is provided as binaries from the Armbian package repository, users just use apt command to download and install them.
