Is the real problem:
a) That there is no AArch64 Debian buster rootfs image.
b) That the existing AArch64 Debian buster *installer* images doesn't boot out of the box.
Personally my own answer has always been b) and, to be honest, that's what got me interested in EBBR in the first place. EBBR (admitedly coupled with upstreamed hardware enablement for both bootloader and kernel) gets us much closer to that.
[5] Yocto / OE does not build natively arm on arm (as well as taking a very long time on a RPi 3)
Is this the "how to bootstrap go without using the host go compiler" problem or something else?
I should take my notes and write this 'folklore' up, but it is a mess compared to pretty much any Intel board. The shame is that the Raspberry Pi is probably the best supported aarch64 device that there is...
