Hi,
I am new to the Hikey platform. I have recently purchased a Hikey 970 board for a project and would like to use it as a Linux computer. The product description mentions that the board comes with preinstalled version of debian Linux and AOSP. However, every time it boots with AOSP and I don’t seem to find instruction to switch the boot to Linux. Any help or directions on this are very much appreciated. Thanks!
