Once they get to support it, you could download the texlive context package that comes with Debian.

thanks for the hint. it turns out that the ubuntu distribution for the nanopi board has the context packages included already. (and it works ;-)

mtx-context | ConTeXt Process Management 0.61 mtx-context | mtx-context | main context file: /usr/share/texmf/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2015.05.18 12:26

That is quite old. I read that the H5 CPU is an ARMv8-A, that is user space compatible with 32bit ARM software. You could try this: - edit first-setup.sh - comment out the line cpu=`uname -m` like this: # cpu=`uname -m` - in the following line write this: cpu = "armv7l" - save and run the script This hack is to make the script believe it's running on an ARM 32 bit platform, and download the latest ARM 32 bit beta of ConTeXt. (still there could be a problem with the platform, soft or hardware floating point, let us know) I can't assure that it works, it's a hack, but it should not brick your board. Best wishes, Massi
