Thank you for the fast reply and for all your works! I have no knowledge of kernel compilation, is there an easy way to do that?
Clone my kernel repo
For r3 change branch to 6.1-main (5.15-main is default and has no support for r3)
Change build.conf by enabling (removing # at beginning of line)
board=bpi-r3
Then import defconfig by running
./build.sh importconfig
Then you can change options with
./build.sh config
And then compile with
./build.sh
At the end of compilation process you can choose pack (creates tar file with all binary parts kernel+modules) or install (to install kernel to sdcard,but you habe to change uEnv.txt to point uboot to new fit)
Greetings,
I have installed the image on a 128 Gb sd, and I wanted to configure it to my liking, starting by installing
local, ntp, vim manpages-en-dev manpages-en apt update && apt update && apt full-upgrade -y && apt update && apt upgrade -y
when I want to do apt update && apt update && apt full-upgrade -y && apt update && apt upgrade -y to upload the version it tells me that it has no room
what can be happening?
Why full-upgrade? And please full erroressage.
If you want bookworm you can use my image creator.
what I want to do is open services, the image starts, starts and seems useful to start a router, for my wishes it starts fine and I try to implement the service more
if i try to add services this is what happens
the SD is 128Gb
Can you make “df -h” and maybe “apt-get clean” before?
Partition should ve large enough…afair i have created a 6g rootfs partition in this image too
then it could be lack of space. Does not resize with the space given to it
could it be this?
more people might have the same space problem.
You can resize partition with gparted on your sdcard…i used a value of 6gb (newer 7gb) because of emmc.
Wonder why 5g already full on your system…you can look for large files with du -h --max-depth=2 /
I have not had time after formatting the sd to do more than this
The ntp service when installing the system only sets the time and lets it work, I’m Spanish and the comments in this script are made for my system, but I couldn’t even change the system number
it won’t let me add the frr key either
#!/bin/bahs
# instalacion y configuracion de debian bullseye en banana pi r3

Any questions you have I have too.
I already tell him what I have done, and he does not let me do more, I do not understand how it does not use all the sd, I am not saying that it uses hdd anymore
Try using gdisk or parted on your sd…maybe there is something left in the backup gpt. And run fsck,maybe badblocks on the sd (not from running os on r3).
You could also start with bookworm by creating an image with my router images repo
https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-Router-Images
Here you can see all steps i do to create the image.but warning this is very alpha state and at least it does not check yet if all packages are installed on the host. On my system it works,but i had not much time to check every step finished successfully.
apt-get clean doesn’t clean, doesn’t work, and can’t install anything either, doesn’t have space, and doesn’t have them installed, can’t use any tools
if i wanted to use gunzip to follow their manual i couldn’t either
Normally apt-get clean removes cached packages from /var/lib/apt. It is a fast way to possible make free space. You can look into that dir if there are any packages. Or cleanup some other dirs e.g. /var/log (but here not delete files,but only truncate them e.g. with echo -n “”>/var/log/logfile and only with textlogs…not wtmp)
Have not seen this before,i guess something with card/filesystem is wrong…but to do anything you have to make space of course…than ran fsck/badblocks and compare rootfs in “df -h” with “du -hs”…it should show same used space…all other is really strange.
This is what it shows for the moment, where is the swap?
Erase and write again is to return to the initial state

I have not defined any swap as this is a very basic image,only necessary changes (fstab,hostname,network config,wifi firmware) and some few preinstalled packages like hostapd
I see df twice (after reformatting with <> button) but not the du summary. If the output differs there is something wrong with the fs…and we are at the fsck step
If I want to make a clean image, only with this system?
I see that you also need to be able to implement security

modprobe: FATAL: Module xt_OSPF not found in directory /lib/modules/6.1.0-bpi-r3-mainYes,this is kernel topic not image (image only uses my kernel). R3 has very limited kernel config,i need to add firewall modules and some more…but very limited in time atm (i’m no employee of bpi and do this all in spare time).
Thats why i created the image creator script which allows creating image with the latest LTS kernel for the device, so have not to do all manually for each device and distro and update these images after some time. And it is clear how the image was created for security reasons (prove that i have not added some own code).
But creating an image automaticly is also some work and needs a bit more work on user side (not only download,unpack,flash).
Greetings.
Today I had a bit more time trying to create something with https://github.com/frank-w/BPI-Router-Images
I have installed a virtual machine with ubuntu to be able to start working for a possible image in which to include more things.

what am I doing wrong?
we should discuss this in the right thread Debian/Ubuntu image creation
you do not need to clone u-boot-repo, as the script downloads files (uboot,kernel) from github-releases built by github actions CI
yes i have not yet added a check for packages…and some error-checks are missing (to stop script after an error)
for the debootstrap things you will need these:
sudo apt install qemu-user-static debootstrap binfmt-support
