I am new to Kali. I came to it for a current Linux distro for my old Cubieboards.
From the Gitlab kali-arm Build-scripts I ran build_deps.sh, only to find out that only Debian is supported to build an image.
I have NEVER had a Debian system. I am CentOS/Fedora with one production Ubuntu system. Sigh.
Can anyone point me to a Cubieboard2 and/or Cubietruck image to use? Or help me build them?
I really want to continue to use my Cubieboards for a number more years.
Thanks!
I just had a thought…
Could I boot up one of my Lenovo x140 notebooks with a Debian Live CD and do the build on that?
Worth a shot.
Let us know how you get on.
Some headway. Built a Debian 12 live USB and booted up. Mounted my notebook harddrive to put all the data there.
The git clone worked fine onto a dir on the harddrive. After I fixed some permissions.
but sudo ./common.d/build_deps.sh failed with the following:

I decided to try to continue:
sudo ./cubieboard2.sh

Huh? Maybe because of that earlier failure? I did go to
and there are 7 files there. Which to install?
I did shutdown Debian Live, so I HOPE what I installed is still there.
Please let me know how to recover from the above error.
This is the most recent key;
OK. I will try that tomorrow. It is a bit of a process to get that live image running. I am hoping that since I have it on a USB stick, changes like this stay between boots.
But what about that first item running build_deps.sh with error code (1)?
