Hurray, thanks guys! :wink:

nice, thanks :sunglasses:

Thank you,

How can I flash it on emmc please ?

I can’t with dd, don’t boot

1/ You have to flash your sd with the image, 2/ You have to start, 3/ you have to install sshfs on your Bpi under a terminal as root with : apt-get install sshfs, 4/ you have to mount the *m3-sd-emmc.img on your Bpi from your main pc with starting the command : sshfs [email protected]:/*m3-sd-emmc.img/mnt/ 5/ Once it is connected, just flash the internal EMMC with the normal flash instruction as dd if=/mnt/…/*m3-sd-emmc.img of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1M, 6/ Use the command : sync, 7/ Use the command : fusermount -u, 8/ Disconnect your Bpi or restart it by pressing on the reset button

That’s done guy!

#6

When I did that (flash /dev/mmcblk1) the BPI M3 didn’t boot.

In my case Berryboot don’t work on emmc. Is it normal ?

jyc_emea, did you try this with this image ? Berryboot and GPU ?

Hi,

I flashed this new image to SD card. I started U1510. Login first was successful, no user/psw asked. I tried to update the system, but during upgrading “There is not enough space…” error appears, so upgrading was not successful. (I used a 16 GB SD card). Thereafter i tried to playback some video files (xvid, 720p, 1080p) with VLC media player. The result is black screen in VLC. Thereafter i tried to playback a youtube video with Firefox. The result: playback does not start.

Thereafter i restarted the device, boot from U1510. Loging screen appears. i tried to login with " pi/bananapi , bananapi/bananapi, bpi/bananapi" users, but after login screen blinked and login screen appears again, so i could not to login. Login with root/bananapi was successful, but an error was displayed. “Error found when loading /root/-profile…”

I tried all with 2015-12-23-ubuntu-mate-15-10, but all issues occured again.

Can you help me?

Thx

Yes, I think when I DDed an Ubuntu image for another device, the software only partitioned it to a new KBs more than the Linux image. It was on a SD card so I took it out and GParted it to expand the volume. For Linux I am not sure how you would do it. Maybe resize it form Linux on MicroSD?

#9

If I install this release with (dd if=… of=… bs=1M) on a empty card i can see the berryboot menu. If i select either u1510gpu or 2015-12-23-ubuntu… screen gets black and nothing happens. Did I miss something?

#10

Screen gets black at first. Wait a minute and it will boot.

#11

on both 2015-12-23… and u1510gpu ?

#12

At least on the u1510.

#13

I did not. But this a standard procedure under linux and unix

#14

Don’t try to flash your microSD under linux with dd. You need to restore the image from the app Disks or better with Win32 Disk Imager at http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/

After this, no problem to boot.

#15

I am looking for a way to get this Image installed to the eMMC module. So far no luck. Any help would be welcome.

#16

Hí

Youtube videos and video playback (xvid, 720p, 1080p) with VLC works well?

#17

No, GPU ok but no HW video decoder

#18

Same story, again and again. Does not work reliable. Please integrate GPU with regular image, don’t need fancy berryboot. Make ONE thing that works for everybody.

#19

YouTube does not work. qq.

#20

This is not working. The BPI will hold at the Splash Screen.
