So, what is the point of this forum?
They made it. You can’t or don’t want to?
Is this offical release by hardkernel? Is armbian offical release by hardkernel?
Sinovoip need opensource developers like voodik or opensource community like armbian, coreelec to support this board and make more opensource images. There are so many type images, they can’t maintain all of them.
It’s just an example of what is a good Android distro. ¿Can’t you do something different to a cheap TV Box Android version?
Even the official Android version for Odroid C4 is better than Android distro for BPI-M5. It’s clean and yes …support Gapps.
By the way…support keyboar, mouse and IR control.
If I replace Android System from BPI-M5 with Android System from Odroid C4, through fastboot command (fastboot flash system system.img), ¿could boot BPI-M5 with the Android version for Odroid C4? ¿There is some way to boot Android from SD card?
Are there any plans for a not Android TV Image? I really need a normal AOSP Android Image.
Do you know which wifi sticks work?
Hello!
Now, I’m trying to install Android image with Usb Burning Tool on Windows. Can you help me?
- M5 board disconnect power, press and hold SW4 button beside 40pin header, plugin type-c usb cable to PC
Installing software is OK. But this board is’nt recognized by my PC. ・Pressing SW4 is tried. ・Some type C cable is tried. ・Some windows OS(10/7) is tried.
Do I need to install Amlogic’s USB driver? Or if I make a mistake, please tell me.
Thanks
There is no extra usb driver, default is installed with usb_burning_tool.exe. If you can’t see the “Connect success” picture of step 2, please check the driver is work on your PC, and upload the tool log, for example, C:\Amlogic\Aml_Burn_Tool\V2\log\2021.06\2021.06.08
which device is the M5 board? I do not understand Japanese
first check board detected by windows, then check whether driver loaded correctly, WorldCup Device means the board enter download mode correctly and identified by amlogic driver.
tool log is a txt file under burning tool install path, for example, C:\Amlogic\Aml_Burn_Tool\V2\log\
If you still can’t get “WorldCup Device”, you can try to flash image with sdcard, please refer to https://docs.khadas.com/vim3/UpgradeViaTFBurningCard.html
Thanks for your reply. I did’nt install ”WorldCup Device”. Recognized by installing ”WorldCup Device”.
Thank you very much！
Well, this is one of the worst software support I ever seen.
- Android source as a “all in one” package with no commit history, so there is no way to know where/which changes have been made and to update to newer android version (BSP is based on a very old android 9 build - android-9.0.0_r3 dated Aug 2018).
- The WORST part, the 64 bit (armv8) build is not supported!
Stay away from this kind of product if you are interested to play with Android, take a look at the ODROIDC4 from HardKernel, its the same device, full sources are available with a much much better software support.
Hello! I bought a banana pi m5 and am enjoying the product and the Android available for it. The only thing I didn’t like was the remote control for the orange pi, which works on most boxes. Not work! Can anyone help me to get it working properly on the banana pi m5. Thank you very much in advance.
Friend August! Thank you very much for trying to help me, but I don’t know how to use android. How do I enter this programming mode? Where can I get the orange Pi generic remote control codes to be able to edit on my banana pi m5 and it will work with this control. Or can you tell me a specific model to work normally without having to change the android? Thanks in advance!
That’s the simplest way i knonw, another way is modify the android source code and build image.
Hey friend! How to enter the command line to enter what you suggested? Doesn’t have any commercial bluethot remote control that works fully on this banana pi m5 android? Thank you very much in advance. Have a great day.
Dear August! How do I enter command lines on banana pi m5 android 9.0? So far I’m not using my bpm5 because I can’t get the remote control to work. Thank you for any support you can provide.
