Installing Freedombox on Minix NEO Z83-4 Pro

Hi @jamesramez, welcome to FreedomBox community. Although no one has reported running FreedomBox on a Minix, I believe you should be able to run it. Here are some tips:

  • The amd64 images are currently not using UEFI. If you are able to access the device’s UEFI (pre-boot) screen, try turning on the ‘legacy boot’ mode. If this mode is not available, I would be able to build you UEFI based images in a few weeks time.
  • You may also have to turn on USB booting and set high priority to it. You may also be able get a boot device menu and select USB device.
  • Are you connected to a display? What do you see? Boot failure or boot getting stuck somewhere? Or USB not recognized.
  • If all else fails, install Debian and then install FreedomBox on top of it.
