Hello all Sorry for my poor english. I try to revive my Cubieboard, by installing Debian on it. The cubie is working, I managed to boot with an old distro version and an old kernel. Now I have fetched the files from the Debian servers, and followed the readme file for creation: zcat firmware.Cubieboard.img.gz partition.img.gz> complete_image.img dd if=./complete_image.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
The cubie also starts with this image until the prompt for the choice of language (C or English). At this time, I cannot use the keyboard, it is inoperative. However, it works, I can take control of the first seconds of the boot: U-Boot SPL 2021.10+dfsg-1 (Oct 10 2021 - 04:20:52 +0000) DRAM: 1024 MiB CPU: 1008000000Hz, AXI/AHB/APB: 3/2/2 Trying to boot from MMC1 U-Boot 2021.10+dfsg-1 (Oct 10 2021 - 04:20:52 +0000) Allwinner Technology CPU: Allwinner A10 (SUN4I) Model: Cubietech Cubieboard I2C: ready DRAM: 1 GiB MMC: mmc@1c0f000: 0 Loading Environment from FAT...

Did I miss a step or forgot to install a file somewhere? The language selection screen after booting looks like this: [ (1*installer) 2 shell 3 shell 4- log ][ Jan 01 0:07 ] lqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqu [!!] Select a language tqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqk x x x Choose the language to be used for the installation process.

Could you please help me? Thank you. Rémi.
