Control: retitle -1 Installation on Banana Pi M3 which has A83T processor On Wed, Dec 27, 2017 at 03:36:44PM +0100, Bernhard wrote: > Am 27.12.2017 um 15:21 schrieb Geert Stappers: > >> Comments/Problems: > >> > >> The SD-card-image created as described in the manual, > https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armhf/20171227-00:09/netboot/SD-card-images/README.concatenateable_images text from that URL
This directory provides installer images in the form of a device-specific part (containing the partition table and the system firmware) and a device-independent part (containing the actual installer), which can be unpacked and concatenated together to build a complete installer image. The device-specific part is named firmware.<board_name>.img.gz and the device-independent part is named partition.img.gz. In addition to providing several firmware.<board_name>.img.gz files for a number of devices with device-specific system firmware, we also provide a firmware.none.img.gz file (containing the partition table but without any system firmware) to provide generic installer images for devices for which no firmware.<board_name>.img.gz file is provided. > >> I used concatenated with the installer: > >> - firmware.BananaPi.img.gz + partition.img.gz > >> - firmware.none.img.gz + partition.img.gz > > > > Please elaborate. > > I tested booting with these two combinations of the firmware and the > partition.img.gz. > None of these two combinations are booting my Banana Pi M3. Filenames from https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armhf/20171227-00:09/netboot/SD-card-images/ don't have "M3", neither "A83T". Picking firmware.BananaPi.img.gz seemed a good guess, but showed you it didn't work. Picking firmware.none.img.gz seemed a good second guess, but showed you it didn't work. I think that firmware.BananaPro.img.gz neither will work. Despite that it is also a Cortex A7 (same as A20) But still worth a try ( niet geschoten is altijd mis ) > > Who has Debian on banana-pi R1 > > I don't have the Banana Pi R1 but a Banana Pi M1. > Installation of Debian 9 "Stretch" on the Banana Pi M1 was successfully. Okay, nice. Good the known that you also have a working Debian on ARM. > See my installation report from August 2017: > https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=874642 bugreport summary: succesfull install, but required a manual reboot > If you need more informations, please let me know. What happens at Debug TTL UART that http://www.banana-pi.org/m3.html#others shows? Yes, that simple question might hard to answer. Please accept the challenge :-) > Best regards > Bernhard Groeten Geert Stappers P.S. Keep the bugreport email address in the loop -- Leven en laten leven
