Debian 13 is intended for developers who want to use the CIX community open-source driver stack. This path now supports both Radxa Orion O6 and O6N. It uses a manually installed Debian 13 (trixie) system together with the CIX PPA open-source driver stack, so there is no prebuilt DD image on this page.
