I got a banana pi plus like the one this web page https://www.armbian.com/banana-pi-plus/

and downloaded legacy jessie server on it.

After applied the last step on the page：

sed -i '1isetenv fdtfile sun7i-a20-bananapi-m1-plus.dtb' /boot/boot.cmd
mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr
ln -fs bin/bananapim1plus.bin /boot/script.bin
reboot 

the board just can't boot up.

anyone have same problem?

We removed our patch since it appeared upstream but something got messed up in between. Use this fix, until we sort this out.

 

Legacy with kernel 3.4.113 should work ... can you provide serial console log. I can't find  my M1+

Configuration was wrong ... fixed. In any case it's not perfectly accurate, read remarks. If you don't need video acceleration / multimedia rather switch to Vanilla kernel. It's in better shape, WiFi also works.

thank you very much for your responses.

I tried to switch to vanilla kernel by the script in HOW TO "wget -q -O - http://upgrade.armbian.com | bash"

however, I can't found bananapi plus, only bananapi.

It seems like the script is not updated for some new boards.

any other way?

yes, use the manual way ... that upgrade script is outdated.

before try this manual upgrade procedure I have just flashed the mainline rom in the webpage:

https://www.armbian.com/donate/?f=http://image.armbian.com/Armbian_5.20_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_4.7.3.7z

 

I found it just won't boot on my bpi M1+  

Hmm, some logs would help, can you provide some? .. but AFAIK latest self build image works out of the box.

I can't find my TTL to USB cable.

get back to try manual upgrade, I found only bananapi and bananapipro in possible device names, which one should I choose for my bpi M1 plus?

followed the steps in the kernel page to upgrade:

 

aptitude remove ~nlinux-dtb ~nlinux-u-boot ~nlinux-image ~nlinux-headers

aptitude remove ~nlinux-firmware ~narmbian-firmware ~nlinux-$(lsb_release -cs)-root

 

apt-get install linux-image-next-sunxi linux-headers-next-sunxi

apt-get install linux-u-boot-bananapi-next linux-$(lsb_release -cs)-root-next-bananapi

apt-get install armbian-firmware sunxi-tools swconfig a10disp

reboot

 

still can't boot, maybe I should buy a cable to get the logs now.
