Are you building directly on the banana pi or a Linux pc and transferring to sd card? Very interested in this since the newest version of android for bpi_m2 doesn’t have WiFi working

Hey Thanks for sharing this information.

I am developing a new android kernel image for specific Touchscreen which is of 17" and am trying to make it compatible with BPi M2 board. I have all the driver files and steps from Supplier of touchscreen .

I am wondering which source should I use from this website http://dev.banana-pi.org.cn as it has two option. And when I am trying to Open Github which one is appropriate as there is different categories and do not know what to download. So decided to download from other link of this website only but its 15Gb…(A very big file)…Tell me the steps if possible…

Also,I tried Lemaker steps to create new image, after many hurdles, I managed to build image but My screen did not work.(Got only black screen)

I really need your assistance to make my screen works.
