Not sure about your hardware, but try to look up if it requires a special kernel, like the RPi 5 (which only runs on raspbian because they ship that kernel)

The manufacturer ships several tools but a lot of the necessary files are shared from Google Drive, and each time I try to download one it says “download limit exceeded.” My goal is to build something more vanilla — I can see that the hardware is supported in the mainline kernel so I’m doing this with tons of trial and error (which I don’t mind).

I’m doing everything in a Dockerfile so once I’m there the goal is to clean it up and push it to GitHub.
