The Hackberry A10 is a mini computer made by Miniand. A while ago, the company's domain (miniand.com) seemed to be abandoned, so a lot of the information and files that were there are no longer available. It's been a bit challenging to put together an OS. A lot of tutorials and wiki pages about the Hackberry directed users to the Miniand website to obtain pre-made boot images, so those links are now useless.

I have created a Debian image that works out of the box. Just image the SD card and it's good to go. I may make more images if I end up needing them for special purposes. Look in the File Downloads section below.
