Hi,
I just got an Odroid C5 and I was wondering if there is a version of DietPi for it. Or could I use build that is made for another machine? The processor appears to be an Amlogic S905X5M.
(If none exist that could be used, I would be willing to try and compile a version of it using the seemingly only distribution I can find for it: Ubuntu 22.04 but that culd take a long, long time. 
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
DietPi is based on Debian, therefore you would need a Debian base image to start.
I’ll ask Hardkernel for a developer sample 
.
Would it help if I figured out a way to get you access to mine via SSH?
Nah, I need to test potentially a large number of bootloader and kernel builds. No way around having a local device.
Ah ok. Thanks for the reply.

Dear @MichaIng,
If there’s still no progress on this matter, I’d be happy to purchase an Odroid C5 along with any accessories you might need. I’ll ensure the delivery goes to an address of your choice and cover all the costs. It’s the least I can do to support this fantastic project.
Please let me know the instructions. You can reach me via email, XMPP, or my cellular phone.

Thanks. At the moment I have 6 SBCs here waiting for implementation, but this week will be most likely busy polishing Debian Trixie support. So bigger issue is personal time vs task priority at the moment. Keep an eye on Armbian support. If they add it, we can add it easily as well. Until then, I’d need to plan at least a full day working time to have a chance, scheduled after I manage to find about the same time for each of the other 6 SBCs waiting on my desk.
OK. The offer remains valid if you are interested аt some point in the future.
IMHO, alternative linux distro needed for C5 as the Ubuntu variant does nothing for me!
Never liked that Gnome and GTK was hijacked and I only like the “Mate” desktop these days.
They have made a Debian Bookworm image for the C5. It can be found here:
Thank you. I will give it a try. The first time I looked I missed the Debian links near the top.
Thank you for this.
I am also interested in a C5 image of dietpi. How can I help?
