Hello everybody, I made a Manjaro porting for BPI-M5 from Official Image for Odroid C4, the ported image use kernel 5.10. If anyone is interested on give it a try, the download link is below.
Download Link: https://mega.nz/folder/BuZWkLhC#phC9KSsassB4bmkAegYykA
I will try it tonight.
Which kernel have you used?
Does it boot over Android in emmc if need to clean the emmc?
I have always had issue booting into the kernel om. M5.
Hi Jorge,
Do you have by chance a ported image of Armbian_21.08.1_Odroidc4_bullseye_current_5.10.60.img for BPI-M5? Thanks in advance.
Hi ayarovy, I don’t have it but I’ll try to port it. By now I’m building my own image based on debian bullseye with Kernel 5.10 from scratch.
Create a new post for this image.
I used kernel 5.10 and I guess the eMMC needs to be cleared because use a different uboot version, I’m learning how to build the u-boot, kernel and linux distros, after that I’ll try with android. Sinoviop just don’t care about support or software upgrades for the hardware, they just focus on sell hardware.
Thanks a lot, Jorge! I appreciate this.
You’re right regarding software upgrades. That is why I’ve purchased Rock PI 4B to replace my BPI-M5. I’s supported by Armbian, and able to boot from NVMe SSD.
tried this image and got stuck at starting Kernel
Have you tried the Manjaro image which you published ? Does it work for you ?
Yes, I ported and tested before publish the image. I attached to this post BOOT LOG and screenshot for the first boot.
BOOT LOG.txt (7,6 KB)
Ok then the only thing I am think of is the sd card.
Are you booting from sd card or usb?
Be careful with the Armbian_21.08.1_Odroidc4 image, it bricked my bpi-m5. After boot from the new image and update the system (apt update && apt upgrade) then reboot. I can’t enter in the system either, with serial console.
I don’t know if I did something wrong.
Now I can’t break the emmc boot sequence. Any idea? or I have a nice brick.

boot times 1I recovered the access to bpi with USB_Bruning_Tool. It was my fault. I know I did something wrong when I update the system but what…
Why when I do apt update && apt upgrade to update the kernel and then reboot, the OS doesn’t boot?
How you do to update the kernel? I need to build the full image?
Thanks
I think that the u-boot is wrong, maybe the u-boot was upgraded with the specific for Odroid C4. Try to flash the u-boot for BPI M5.
I’m booting from SD card but should work from eMMC and USB as well.
I have the same problem with manjaro
BPi might have ripped-off their entire M5 codebase from Hardkernel so the C4 looks identical, but the boards use different RAM chips so the FIP sources needed to sign u-boot are not compatible. If you install a C4 image on an M5 it will not “brick” the board (as is often claimed) but due to Amlogic’s default “always boot from eMMC” behaviour it will error and fail to boot which can be tricky to recover from. It’s good the Amlogic burning tool can recover the board.
I tried but it wont boot.
