I have burned this into 32gb SD. When i turn my bpi-m3 on then the green, blue and red led go on. Banana pi logo get displayed on the screen via direct hdmi connection. few seconds later the screen become black and the leds green and blue turn off, but the red led remain on then again banana pi logo get displayed on the screen and the green and blue leds also turn on. It get keep doing that… please help me…
@annax: This is what the vendor feels if he hears that another user ran into the Micro USB trap. Unfortunately @sinovoip is simply not able to understand that Micro USB encourages users to use insufficient PSUs and crappy cables. The problem is less the connector itself but the stuff between connector and PSU and most often the PSU (crappy phone chargers or ‘smart chargers’ for example will limit their output to 500mA which can also lead to the problem you’re running into).
The whole problem is well known since ages but @sinovoip doesn’t give a shit as usual and laughs about customers running into this problem. Or maybe @sinovoip is really not able to look at his products from a customer’s perspective?
tkaiser, the usb charger from apple have this information printed:
Output 5.1v , 2.1a
the BPI-M3 i have does have micro power option and dc power option. I have tried to install Ubuntu Mate 15.10 from here: http://bananapi.com/index.php/download?layout=edit&id=90 and it worked with the same micro usb power… i’m lost and dont understand why it does not work when i use the images on this website. I bought 7 BPI-M3 and now i feel i cant use them so i have lost a lot of money.
That image is quite old, they made a couple of fixes in the meantime that affect both power requirements as well as consumption peaks. And as already written: check the gauge rating of your USB cable. You need AWG24 or less otherwise resistance is too high which leads to voltage drops when load increases (load peaks): Look at these tables to get the idea: http://goughlui.com/2014/10/01/usb-cable-resistance-why-your-phonetablet-might-be-charging-slow/
In case you use now the USB OTG port (Micro USB) try to use the barrel plug instead.
You’re too funny! He said that this old image works. In case you update that it won’t work for sure. You really aren’t able to understand the needs of your customers. And you’re the responsible support muppet here. It’s unbelievable
No sinovoip, i needed Debian 8, but it did not work like i have described above so instead i have tested ubuntu 15.10 and it worked. I already have tested all your images and the same problem happens on them. I’m going try to not use OTG port, but the other port use small dc input which i dont have around at moment.
Yes tkaiser the image is not the newest, but i was almost forced when there is no other options that worked…i’m going test the barrel plug and report back when done how it went.
