Note that this uses a custom kernel, not the upstream (vanilla) kernel. For the RPI 4, I've been working on this, and documenting my progress on https://wiki.debian.org/RaspberryPi4 What works: 1) it's possible to run Debian 10 on the RPI4 with two packages from unstable: raspi-firmware, and the kernel (5.5). Once they will be backported, it will sound even better. I don't know if there are plans to backport support to 4.19 (I doubt it). 2) images can be generated similarly to what is done for other RPI versions, see https://salsa.debian.org/raspi-team/image-specs/-/compare/master...rpi4 (it's just a WIP branch at this point) A good pointer for the status of the linux kernel is https://github.com/lategoodbye/rpi-zero/issues/43 There's a #debian-raspberrypi channel on IRC (OFTC), too.
