Hi Igor,

 

after trying and failing totally with Bananian etc. I found your images.

So I installed the Jessie image 21.5.15 / 3.4.107 on my BananaPro which seemed to boot up somehow. I can ping the BananaPro fine but can't login via SSH. The SSH connection simply times out, even after rebooting the BPro.

 

Do you or anyone else know what to do? Thanks!

This "nologin / false login" occurred in last Jessie build. Since I haven't change anything in this section it's one of unfixed Jessie issue(s).

 

If you can ping than this is a good sign which means Ethernet was initialized properly. There is also a bug in recent u-boot (2015.4) and eth0 will sometimes fail to init. Workaround is u-boot downgrade to one version back (check archive) and will be fixed within next update.

 

Actually you only need to wait for reboot. If you have fairly decent internet connection you have to wait few minutes until apt-get update is finished and the board automatically reboots.

Thanks for the quick reply!

I just re-tried it with Wheezy image, but still no luck. Behaviour is the same

Huh, take one image back. I know that last build is problematic but it must work!
