So partial success so far. Unfortunately I still do not boot the Ubuntu. I moved my ask for help here (believe it is the better thread for that topic than this one):
Hello Gary I have the same issue. Please, how can we manage to still boot from Emmc and keep custom settings over any reboot ?
What is the alternative ? Keeping LEDE booting on SD Card ?
I just copied the image onto the sd card, and when I try to boot the banana pi R2 I just get this kind of violet screen with no prompt/console or anything like that, can you help me out?
Hello Gary
Thanks for the information. I’m trying to download the files from your Test_1023 directory since yesterday unsuccessfully.
I will retry soon.
Regards.
I don’t know if dhcp is running, and I don’t know where I could possibly get the log of the dhcp-server, because I don’t have a UART-Debug adapter. I just placed a lan-cable in the very left lan(/wan) port, and turned it on. But it should be powered on, because when I place a HDMI cable in the HDMI port, I get that violet screen, and all the lights are on.
Hello Gary
I finally succeed in downloading and installing the files. Now my BPI R2 is up and running, and the settings are persistent.
Thanks a lot for your help, i will now try to configure my router correctly.
I need to learn everything about LEDE.
Have a nice weekend.
Regards
Hay great work but I’m having a real problem trying to get the download as I only speak English I have tried everything but I still can’t get it please help
@frank-w,
Can you confirm that the WiFi chipset can be used as a access point with this image.
Also, if you are going to provide images for this device. Could you include instructions on how to implement these images into the BPI-R2 (especially seeing that there is still an ad-hoc approach when providing sufficent guides within this forum).
Whilst installing and running these images via a sd / tf card is fairly straightforward, however there is still a lot of confusion within this forum about copying and running the image directly from EMMC.
