Convert Pogoplug Series 4 to Debian, howto? (8 replies)

Hi!

Currently running a couple of pogo plugs (one standard with SATA, one mobile) on Archlinux (https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-series-4).

Now wanting to re-purpose these, and Debian fits me better!

How do I reflash them to the Bodhi u-Boot, and install Debian on the disks (sata on the v4, and usb-key on the v4 mobile) that are now running Arch?

Found these by searching:

But they do not see to fit my scenario, or?

Thanks for any help/guidance!
