Hello, you could use bpi-bootsel to change boot.

Firstly, input “bpi-bootsel”, you will see a list of boot.

then find path of the boot “BPI_M2U_LCD7.img.gz”, use bpi-bootsel to change it.

“bpi-bootsel /usr/lib/u-boot/bananapi/bpi-m2u/BPI_M2U_LCD7.img.gz”

Hi, i’ve downloaded this image from google drive. A few questions: What ist the root login? The officiell pi login this the know password is not working. What is the password for user pi? The actually Rasbian Release is not working on Bpi M2 Berry? How can i fix this? Is there a basic image available, that is not so blowing up?

Thanks & Happy XMas!

Edit: After some trys i got this: The password fot user pi is: bananapi Why is that a secret? Write it down in a textfile locate at the image!

You can’t.

Raspbian is a Debian like OS with a firmware (closed source RTOS, boot loader, kernel) for hardware called Raspberry Pi. Official Raspbian can work only on RaspberryPi and nowhere else. Raspbian for other hardware can be the same only on the surface - same desktop wallpaper, pre-installed applications, … while the core, hardware support is related to the most important thing … kernel, low level support. If you don’t need video acceleration, check https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2u and check FAQ for basic info.

13

Thanks for explaining, Igor! I thougt, Raspbian is compatible to BananaPi, because here is also a “Raspbian jessie” release. Sorry for that.

Oh no - i didnt need video acceleration. This BPi should be my new smarthome controller: SSH, WEB-Server, KNX-Interface - no more, and not less.

14

“Raspbian” is commonly abused as marketing property :slight_smile: People are asking for Raspbian and … here it is … taadaaa

Than Armbian will be a perfect choice. It has much much more recent kernel than stock images and also Raspbian. A few things are not developed yet such as video acceleration but for server scenarios … it should be ok

Hi Guys, with Ubuntu my BananaPi M2 Berry is working well, rather slow, but

  • SATA disk is detected and working
  • Wifi is detected and working.

With Raspian (this image!!!) the SATA disk is not working and Wifi is not working. And, last but not least; Where can I find a tool like raspi-config, but for the Bananap Pi? Who can help?

16

Why do you need raspi-config for? If you installed armbian, there is armbian-config …

17

As I wrote: I have installed this image “Raspbian jessie 8.0 2018-5-24”, not any armbian… I am a Linux-User, not a Linux-expert. I am searching for an image, which is working well (fast, all hardware detected and working) for my BananaPi M2 Berry. And I am searching for a tool like Raspi-Config (which is integrated in the image, or which can be installed with a few apt-get commands. For example: I want to use that configuration tool to:

  • enable / disable startup to graphical desktop
  • enable / disable SSH-server …
18

That certainly works with Armbian, but I am not so sure about “Raspbian”.
