Hi all . Has anyone tried installing Trisquel on a NanoPi R5C single board computer. The wiki https://wiki.friendlyelec.com/wiki/index.php/Main_Page says that Debian and Ubuntu are supported, which means Trisquel can be installed.

I chose this device because there is no BIOS instead of u-boot.

I am not aware that this device can boot without non-free software. Physically, the RYF certified Gigabit Ethernet router from ThinkPenguin looks like NanoPi products and is based on RK3288, so maybe it is a NanoPi R2S. If so, I guess it means this device can boot with only free software, but I am not sure how to install Trisquel on it.

Last September, I tried booting the Trisquel netinstaller on a RockPro64 but it did not work. I see there is a version from October, I will try it. I don't know whether anyone already successfully installed Trisquel on an ARM board.

Thank you for your responses . I will follow the information or try to buy and install it myself.
