hi dear community
i have a system runningv on banana pi and i want to update this
see what is currently running
martin@bananapi:~$ l^C
martin@bananapi:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Release: 18.04
Codename: bionic
martin@bananapi:~$
look forward to hear from you
by the way - how to find out which banana pi am on !?
updating from lts to lts is maybe possible but if you break it you have no working system…better is to create a new/fresh system and configure this leaving the old as backup till all is configured
for reading out board you can use devicetree if you have a kernel using this (most arm/arm64)
cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/compatible
in my case it shows
bananapi,bpi-r2mediatek,mt7623
if you have bananapi-r2 or r64 you can look in my wiki on how to create an ubuntu image, and only need to change it a bit to get 20.4 (focal)
If you still want armbian,you can look in their repo…maybe they have a focal image
Hi Frank ’
many thanks for the quick reply - great to hear from you

thanks for the advice to create a fresh system.
i will have a closer look at your wiki-page
have a great day
This is no r2/r64…maybe a bpi-r1 if it is a routerboard…i guess more a bananapro
http://www.lemaker.org/product-bananapro-index.html
You have no physical access to board to look which type it is?
But looks like the bananapro…
By the way - i ve got some other sbc - an udoo: but at the moment i am not sure wich model this is
see the sbc - the udoo
and here
well this would be great if i could get to know - which sbc these both are!?
look forward to hear from you
regards
mhm…looks more like the (first) bananapi manufactured by allnet
https://www.allnet.de/bananapi/ (found only a german site)
hi there - many thanks i will have a closer look
btw: the second - the udoo seems to be this one
Udoo Quad Makerboard Rev. D.
Note i want to build up a NAS/ Samba server.;: can i do that with this UDoo quad - guess so
found the following specs
are they still correct - and do the describe the Rev D too!?
found the following specs

GPU Vivante GC 2000 + Vivante GC 355 + Vivante GC 320
Integrated accelerators for 2D, OpenGL® ES2.0 3D and OpenVG™

are they still correct - and do the describe the Rev D too!?
i guess so
and now i want to have a closer look at allnet - to see if /and where i get a operation system for this one
many thanks for all you do .
greetings
by the way - does this have any effect - if it is really a allnet-designed sbc!?
guess that this is a banana pi that is build under licence !? is this possible - thinkable!?
look forward to hear from you
i don’t know this board, and here is R2/r64 thread of bananapi only. only the bananapi board can be posted here but in different section (@sinovoip can you change section to bananapi 1?). i had one old bananapi, but after this has some ethernet-issues i dropped it
hi there
I need a Operating-System for the following systems
- Alwinner /banana Pi A 20
- Udoo Quad Makerboard Rev. D.
- Orange PI Prime rev 1.0
