If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
This article presents rkdebian, a build system that enables running full Debian 12 Bookworm on a Doogee U10 tablet (RK3562 chipset) without requiring a bootloader unlock. The system boots from an SD card, leaving internal storage untouched, and users can return to stock Android by simply removing the SD card. The project was reverse engineered from scratch without any BSP, vendor documentation, or official support, using Firefly RK3562 open-source repositories as a starting point and built with the assistance of AI tools including Claude, Codex, and Google Gemini (Antigravity).
