==Introduction==
In the last years, Debian-based distributions—which are very widespread in desktop/server environments—have grown in popularity in the embedded world as well. Nowadays, there are several approaches to create such a distribution for embedded targets, however. [https://elbe-rfs.org/ ELBE], [https://github.com/zuka0828/meta-eid meta-eid], and [https://www.armbian.com/ armbian] are just three examples of different tools available today [1].
This Technical Note shows how to run such a distribution on [[RIALTO SBC | RIALTO SBC]], a product designed and manufactured by DAVE Embedded Systems to build compact IoT gateways for industrial applications. Specifically, this example makes use of '''Debian 12 - boowkworm'''.
==The hardware platform==
As stated previously, the [[RIALTO SBC | RIALTO SBC]] is suited to implement low-cost edge computing devices.
From an architectural standpoint, RIALTO SBC is powered by NXP i.MX6UL system-on-chip (SoC).

It is equipped with three network interfaces—two Ethernet ports and a WiFi—and provides several combinations of serial ports like RS232, RS485 and CAN. It also has two USB ports (host and OTG) and a microSD slot.
==Installing the root file system==
A ready-to-use root file system, the procedure described [https://github.com/armbian/build here] was followed. Before starting the actual build process, the following patch was applied in order to add the support for the SBCSPG target.
