I have the old bpi-w2 working. I have installed two 1TB hard drives. I have updated the official version “Ubuntu Server 16.04 Operation system with kernel 4.9.119” to Ubuntu 22.04.
I leave some tips here!
Hardware
- BPI-W2
- 2 x HDD Western Digital WD10SPZX

1. Create SD card
apt-get install pv
curl -sL https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/bpi-tools/raw/master/bpi-tools | sudo -E bash
bpi-copy xxx.img /dev/sdx # to install image on your TF card.
2. Update Ubuntu 22.04.
I have replaced the contents of the “ROOT” partition.
tar zxvf ubuntu-base-22.04.3-base-arm64.tar.gz -C /mnt/rootfs
I have solved some errors with the help of the forum.
