This release is for banana pi M2P board which is based on Allwinner H3, We release three images, Ubuntu 16.04, Raspbian 9 and Debian 9 with kernel 4.4.
Hi, after copy the image to emmc by using bpi-copy, the BPI boot from emmc with errors.
The last error on screen is: ARISC message 30 error, callback not install.
No sorry, this issn’t a solution! I konw many distributions now, I don’t wan’t another distribution. If this all, I try Raspian now. Thx! Okay, here are people that don’t know the different between Debian and Raspian. This waste my time. Booth will be released as one image here, but this can’t be true.
For the next sheeps as information, all listed Linux distributions (Debian 9, Rasbian 9 and Ubuntu) are the same images. Don’t waste your time with downloading! If you want to use a Linux distribution here, you must use Armbian. The advertising is, we can all linux-distributions, but the realety is, there is only one funktional distribution.
I extract the Image-file on microsoft windows with 7zip-Archiver and copy
the system to sd card (16gb or more) with Win32DiskImager.
This Desktop system works very well on BananaPi M2+. But still I dont know
how I can use the whole system with german language. Desktop, menus and the
most programs are in english. Ready for use with german is
LibreOffice, LibreCad, SMPlayer, FocusWriter, Audacity and Vivaldi-Browser.
I need more information how can I change the system language to german
and how can I copy my Desktop completly to emmc.
Only add german keyboard layout in xfce settings and remove english make it possible that german keyboard layout qwertzu work. This could be similar with other languages.
With mplayer video output in SMPlayer video playback is possible.
Vivaldi internet browser now is 2.8.1664.44-1. Configuration is not the original. Close tabs with double clic now active.
Qmmp now use Pulse for playback therefore volume control in player is possible. Some skin files included.
Open Transport Tycoon now is included and its playable on a big tv with fullscreen.
I have make some tests with newer kernel versions but I am not very happy with this. However, if you need a faster kernel
try kernel 4.9 https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-4.9.0-11-armmp-lpae_4.9.189-3%2Bdeb9u1_armhf.deb
Newer kernel not recommended by me.
This desktop is created on a 8gb sd card but not all available 8gb can be use for this system. With all 16gb sd cards or bigger
it should be possible to copy and use this system.
If you dont like XFCE MATE desktop is also included.
On some tv device you must choose overscan that you can see the whole dektop.
Do you understand what I do?
I try to make or find a usable portable desktop computer with not more than 10 watt electric power consumption.
