I tested this image on Bananapi M1+ and found that the serial port ttyS2 ttyS1 ttyS3 could not communicate
Root@bpi-iot-ros-ai:/home/pi# echo “kkkk” >/dev/ttyS1 -bash: echo: write error: Input/output error

Can you provide build kernel documentation? I plan to build a lite os myself.

I have a BPI-M1 that has been running for several years from a PNY ssd and an old Armbian image - worked fine. I recently moved app to another server because there were no updates to the old image. I downloaded the image for Debian 10, put it on an SD card and it worked fine. I copied the contents of the SD to the newly formatted ssd and tried to GRUB boot it - no entry for the /dev/sda1 ! I installed os-prober and ran it and got the entry for the ssd os and tried to GRUB boot it again - entry for ssd-os was in the GRUB menu, but when I tried to boot it, I got no such device or file. I messed around with the menu and got the rescue (read-only file system) os to run from the ssd. How can I get the full os on the ssd to run using GRUB from the SD???

Move to most recent Armbian image and you will be just fine. It’s by far the best support.

Thanks, works fine!!
I tried this on my r1, have serial console access but no network connection.
Created BPI-R1 network configuration on Linux kernel 5.X for information on the network configuration.
Would love to see It works for me messages.

Found BPI-R2 images at Armbian, but no BPI-R1 images yet.
Thanks, works fine!!
That is probably BPI-M1, good to known that Armbian works for that device.

“Yet” => “no more”
There were R1 images, just support was dropped. For many reasons https://forum.armbian.com/search/?q=lamobo%20r1&fromCSE=1 but mainly because support become too big waste of time.
You are welcome to proceed dealing with R1 on your own … not sure if actual kernel is plug and play. Especially with a switch and wireless.
For what is worth, I did see this during apt upgrade

It looked only scary, the bpi-r1 rebooted fine with 5.1.1-BPI-Kernel.
Is it based on armbian (updated armbian) or is it clean installation of Debian ? f.
Creator of the images at the start of this thread might answer that question.
Greetings a tester of the R1 image.
