Thanks Frank, I’ll do that - I’ve ordered the cable and come back here when I have the logfiles from the boot.
Hi FrankI
I got the cable today and I failed to get it running :(.
The pictures shows how I’ve connected the TTL Cable with the BPI (white RX into USB port, and green TX out of the USB port).
The USB device itself was recognized by the kernel (I’m on Debian Testing):
Sep 12 15:15:42 springfield kernel: usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd

Sep 12 15:15:42 springfield kernel: usb 1-1: cp210x converter now attached to ttyUSB0
I started minicom with the one obvious option … minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 but I didn’t receive anything…
Can you help me again please ?
sudo minicom -s
Change here port = ttyUSB0, baud 115200 8n1 Flowcontrols both no
Save config and start minicom as user. now start your bpi-r2
You use gpio-connector? console is a separate pin-bar
debug uart is here and baud rate is 115200 
1 Like
I’ve added myself to the dialout group, which the usb belongs to, to avoid the sudo.
Ahh I see my fail - I connected it to the GPIO, not the debug uart… omg I’m sorry for my stupidity…
I’ll try again. …
Ok I connected it on the debug-UART, RX into-USB is white.
and this the statusline minicom shows me at the bottom:
CTRL-A Z for help | 115200 8N1 | NOR | Minicom 2.7.1 | VT102 | Offline | ttyUSB0
Minicom shows no response at all, I tried cutecom too, which showed me a
16:55:23:851] <break>
from time to time, but there is nothing “human-readable” at all.
Again, thanks alot guys for your help…Appreciate it very much.
Dont forget gnd! and try swapping rx/tx (dont know colors). Rx->tx,tx->rx
I did connect gnd (the picture was just a snapshot before connecting gnd), I tried it both ways, no success at all.
Got no response from the device, with three different terminal-programs (one running on windows, just to be sure).
I think my device is bricked and I’ll send it back to reichelt.
Have you looked at your sd-card with pc? Are there min 2 partitions (boot+rootfs)?
Yes, the FreeBSD Image I used had two partitions.
Have you tried another sd-card vendor (ie transcend,sandisk) or sizes? maybe its not compatible. I know that for raspi… else you can get image from sd (calc bs and count from imagesize) and compare checksum (md5,sha) to verify it is written exactly.
I checked the MD5-Sum after the first several tries to boot the BPI, and it matched with the data I got on the Card. I tried a second card which is in use on my Raspberry and it didn’t work either, so I took another card from a different Raspberry and it didn’t work too… All cards seem to be fine when used with my PC…
The method I used to write to/from an img file worked fine with the images I used to have on the both Raspberries.
Try to long press on PWR button over 10 seconds and see if there’s something out on the debug uart.
No, there isn’t any output except this “break”-statement no matter how long I press the pwr button - which I did even longer than 10 seconds without any response or anything from the device.
do you use 12v power?
Yes, 12v and 3a, I tried a different one with 2amp, same result :(.
I sent the device back today, thanks alot guys for your time and your help!
After many tries I’m still not able to boot the Ubuntu (latest image Ubuntu-16.04-mate-desktop-bpi-r2-sd-emmc-v1.2.0.img). Booting always hangs on:
[BLDR] jump to 0x81E00000
[BLDR] <0x81E00000>=0x5BF6144E
[BLDR] <0x81E00004>=0x6B99EE8A
Only pink color is on the attached monitor. I tried to boot with monitor unplugged too. Same result. Tried different SD cards too. Same result. Tried older Ubuntu image too. Same result.
Note: Thanks to @garywang help I already boot to LEDE from SD card and form EMMC as well. But still no luck with Ubuntu.
I do appreciate any help. Thx.

[BLDR] <0x81E00004>=0x6B99EE8AProblem solved. It was my mistake. I was burning the Ubuntu Mate image using dd command to /dev/sdd1 partition instead of /dev/sdd device. As soon as I burned image to sdd device, it has booted from SD card correctly.
BTW: I think formatting SD card before burning the image to it as described here https://bananapi.gitbooks.io/banana-pi-bpi-r2-open-source-smart-router/content/bpi-r2-quick-start.html is not necessary. Image burning overwrites previously formatted partition on SD card.
