Assume it won’t work. While ARM64 linux distro’s are getting more and more popular, they still rely on a variety of chipmakers and, like, clockworkpi, custom mainboard implementations. The subtle differences in power management units, boot functions, and display units add up. That’s why you see SBC manufacteres supplying their own spins - ClockworkPi, OrangePi, FriendlyElec. And when it comes to displays, unless it’s specifically defined at build time, you will get a blank screen.

Your pre-built choices are ClockworkPi’s Armbian, or the Manjaro nightlies here: [Releases · manjaro-arm/clockworkpi-a06-images · GitHub](https://github.com/manjaro-arm/clockworkpi-a06-images/releases)

Otherwise, it is possible to configure an arm64 distro for DevTerm A06, but it ain’t easy. You’d be a superstar in the DevTerm community if you wanted to build other distros for it. 😉
