Hey there since i got a Bananapi-R1 recently ive started to notice that there are no up to Date Images out there.
Official support is over since 2016 and none of the Images later than Ubuntu 16.04 i found started booting or even have a working Download Link!
So i had to figure out how i could get a later Version installed on my Board by myself!
I have compiled a Bullseye Image that works fine, the only things ive noticed are missing OTG and WirringPi Support!
Maybe someone knows a way how to get it working??
As i wrote before i couldnt find any recent Images out there, so i compiled some with this well documented Compiler by Armbian.
SSH is enabled by default, only Bullseye and Buster are tested!
You`re welcome!
But keep in mind that you have to figure out many things by yourself to get the Board working properly besides just booting and tinkering around with Linux!
Hey there, im sorry for not answering to my Thread since ive started it!
I did some Tests and @renatoaquino is right.
Ubuntu Impish is (i dont know why) the most stable Version!
Currently im working on a Image with some more Network capabilitys so you can use it as a Switch, and im building a GUI on XFCE base (i dont use it very often but sometimes its useful!).
For now im still facing Issues with OTG and GPIO support, they still dont Work.
Actual Screenshot of the GUI with 1080p Output and usage of Ressources while running the GUI and a small Serial Host for Duino-Coin Mining:
Do we have any news here ?
I took out my old R1 board because it seemed to be the perfect HW for the task (Switch plus small NAS in one). While it worked ok (though slow network) using an old Armbian image I still had, after upgrading neither Wifi nor LAN works?!
Thanks for feedback,
