OpenAstro Linux v1.0 — Debian 13 Trixie for ASIAIR Plus

AlpacaBridge logo

Replace the stock ZWO firmware on your ASIAIR Plus RockChip with Debian 13 (Trixie). Restore to stock at any time from your backup.

What's in the image

  • Debian 13 (Trixie) arm64 rootfs — clean minimal install
  • Stock kernel 4.19.219 — the same Rockchip BSP kernel that ships with your ASIAIR
  • Stock firmware — BCM43456 WiFi/Bluetooth, all hardware drivers
  • Stock boot chain untouched — only partition 7 (rootfs) is replaced
