Hi, so I am using Banana Pi M2 Zero I am working on it right now but I cannot even install the image. First I went to its official website and downloaded Ubuntu 16.04 desktop img from Google Drive I flashed it in micro SD card using balenaEtcher then I inserted it in Banana Pi M2 Zero and connected mini HDMI to my laptop using HDMI to HDMI cable and video capture card and then I turned on the power the red light started blinking and I was thinking it was first boot that is why it will take time but I waited for one hour but it did not work I was thinking I installed it incorrectly so I removed it and flashed the img again in micro SD card but again it did not work I tried five six times but it did not work.
Then I moved to another OS because it was not working and there are only two desktop versions available for Banana Pi M2 Zero first one is Ubuntu and second one is Armbian I went to Banana Pi docs website to download this and there is no Google Drive option available and they have uploaded it on Baidu which is a Chinese cloud service and it was difficult because you have to download their client on your PC then only you can download the file and there is no proper solution to bypass it so if someone from Banana Pi is reading this please change this. After this I went to Armbian official website and I downloaded it and flashed the file in my micro SD card and inserted it into Banana Pi M2 Zero and it worked but I was stuck at boot screen because I cannot give any input to Banana Pi M2 Zero because the keyboard and mouse are not connecting through it first I thought it was power supply problem because I connected OTG to USB hub to keyboard but USB hub light indicator shows there is power but my keyboard caps lock light is not showing then I connected keyboard directly to OTG but still it is not working and I checked mouse also but nothing worked then I searched about this problem and I found one thread (BPI-M2-Zero Can't get keyboard to work) regarding this problem and it said it is OS img file problem so I followed that thread there were only two options new OTG or change in file I had to change root_armbian/etc/module and in this file I had to change g_serial to #g_serial so it can detect the OTG and I can give input to do this I used DiskGenius because I do not have Ubuntu and I did it and still it did not work and after that I tried to reinstall Armbian and I found out there is official flasher to install Armbian I installed it and checked it but it still did not work
So that is why if you or someone can help me please help me…(I tried to install Ubuntu 16.04 again while writing this and it still not even booting)
