Can we install debian on OLinuXino LIME2? Their FAQ [1] says

    Can I use the Debian or Android image for A20-OLinuXino-LIME or
A10-OLinuXino-LIME instead of the one for A20-OLinuXino-LIME2?
    No. Both Debian and Android images are specfic for each board. Make
sure the image that you download and use is specifically marked as
suitable for A20-OLinuXino-LIME2. The prepared cards which we sell for
the board are also different.

and that is without HDMI support.
