I'll try this within the next few days and report back here.

I should have paid attention to what I did, but when the USB to TTL serial adapter arrived I promptly connected that and got the initial console and set-up which allows me to login as root and 1234, to then change the password and ask all the usual initial set-up questions. Once I got past all of that then everything magically started working, including the HDMI port. Without using the USB to TTL RS232 card on the debug port on the BananaPro, the SoC board appeared to be dead. It was not. I've got it working now. [Just need to create an image back-up of the MicroSD card.

Thanks. will look at that when I can. My legacy Rasberry v1 Rasberry Pi has died which I was using for a specific set of tasks and I've had to put the BananaPro in it's place as the replacement. At the moment this is the content of armbianEnv.txt: verbosity=1 bootlogo=false console=both disp_mode=1920x1080p60 overlay_prefix=sun7i-a20 rootdev=UUID=dffd2ee5-5480-480b-9853-7884f8ba5e47 rootfstype=ext4 overlays=analog-codec usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u I removed the overlays that where not loading. Not using that at the moment, but I would have expected the drivers to at least load. I'm assuming that the analog-codec is to do with the microphone that's build in to the BananaPro and I may be actively [nor for spying! :-) ] using that some time in the future.

I'm not sure if this is a bug that needs to be reported and I don't know what issues it may be causing, if any. ----< CUT >---- Sep 16 08:55:56 loki kernel: [35972.411737] ieee80211 phy2: brcmf_fweh_event_worker: event handler failed (72) Sep 16 08:55:56 loki kernel: [35972.465736] ieee80211 phy2: brcmf_fweh_call_event_handler: no interface object Sep 16 08:55:56 loki kernel: [35972.465781] ieee80211 phy2: brcmf_fweh_event_worker: event handler failed (72) Sep 16 08:55:56 loki kernel: [35972.471791] ieee80211 phy2: brcmf_fweh_call_event_handler: no interface object Sep 16 08:55:56 loki kernel: [35972.471838] ieee80211 phy2: brcmf_fweh_event_worker: event handler failed (72) Sep 16 09:00:54 loki kernel: [36270.546084] ieee80211 phy2: brcmf_fweh_call_event_handler: no interface object Sep 16 09:00:54 loki kernel: [36270.546174] ieee80211 phy2: brcmf_fweh_event_worker: event handler failed (72) Sep 16 09:00:54 loki kernel: [36270.673121] ieee80211 phy2: brcmf_fweh_call_event_handler: no interface object Sep 16 09:00:54 loki kernel: [36270.673211] ieee80211 phy2: brcmf_fweh_event_worker: event handler failed (72) Sep 16 09:03:24 loki kernel: [36420.901890] sun7i-dwmac 1c50000.ethernet eth0: Link is Down Sep 16 09:03:25 loki kernel: [36421.344529] device wlan0 entered promiscuous mode Sep 16 09:03:26 loki kernel: [36422.743514] PM: suspend entry (s2idle) Sep 16 09:03:26 loki kernel: [36422.858919] Filesystems sync: 0.115 seconds Sep 16 15:54:45 loki kernel: [36422.893328] Freezing user space processes ...

Yep, Working perfectly. [Now only if I could get xdrp, X and xfce4 play nicely. That's another thread.]

Yes. I knew this. What happened is that I totally forgot about the /sys folder and then I remember that it's quite a large tree. Didn't think about using du and grep that way.

EDIT: SOLVED, I think. I installed gdm3 then performed a full firmware upgrade from armbian-config. Performed a reboot and now I have an X desktop over RDP. It's working. I wonder if I cheated and lightdm is still broken and using gdm3 is simply a cheats way out. Why would lightdm not work would still be interesting investigating. I do not know if this is a bug or something I've done, but I can not get the xfce4 desktop environment running over the RDP and was wondering . . . 1) Does someone know how to diagnose this problem and fix it? ... OR ... 2) How do I rip out the problem software and all other files so I can try and install from like-new? Installing xfce4 and xrdp on a now (rest in peace) original version 1 Rasberry Pi B want without a hitch. Installed xrdp, then installed xfce4, made it the default desktop environment and it worked. This was to replace the Raspian desktop which was choking the original Pi. Well... It did just have 256Mb RAM in absolute total. This BananaPi Pro has 1Gb. More wiggle room. If anyone wishes to help me figure this one out then this thread may end up being a useful resource for anyone else in this or similar situation. xrdp seems to be working.

Thank-you everyone. I would mark multiple solutions, but the board only allows me to mark one. I got it working. Used the cron @reboot method on user root. The LEDs are useful where on the screen it may look like it's got stuck, the LEDs will at least show if there is some activity and if the SOC is still got a heartbeat. I'm still a noob on the higher technical issues of Linux. I have one more question to ask and that will be in another thread. (Yes, I will donate! I've seen the donate link on the Armbian home page, but as you all know, the budget that keeps the roof over the head, electricity supplied, food on the table, etc... is priority. Shall donate what I can, when I can.) EDIT: I finally ended up using the /etc/rc.local method. Thank-you @Werner and @guidol.

Thank-you. I have got a lot to learn and at the moment my learning curve is as steep as a Saturn 5 rocket blasting off and going into orbit. I am self-educating way more than I am asking questions. echo heartbeat > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/bananapro:blue:usr/trigger echo mmc0 > /sys/devices/platform/leds/leds/bananapro:green:usr/trigger Erm..... {sheepish look to my face and batting eyelids . . . .} How do I get this to persist across reboots, or the file I need to alter to make this the default. :-) EDIT: I think I found answer to my question. https://smallbusiness.chron.com/run-command-startup-linux-27796.html Is this correct?

Hello all. A possible mission impossible challenge for someone who wishes to accept it and this message will not self-destruct in 10 seconds. :-) The LED1 (green) and LED2 (blue) on the BanabaPi Pro. How do I get them to show the watchdog heart beat and the MMC card usage? An out-of-date Rasbian Distro for the Lemaker BananaPi Pro had this feature this right-out-of-the-box, but at the moment on Armbian I've only got the steady red power LED. Is there a way to enable this functionality within Armbian?

Thank-you. I had this BananaPi Pro in storage for quite a long time still in it's original packaging. Recently unpacked it, put it in a safe transparent case and powered it up. All the Lemaker referenced distros have an out of date kernel. I wish to stay with Armbian. Now all I need to do is get xfce4 and xrdp to behave and play nice! I set-up a original Raspberry Pi Pro without any difficulties and also xfce4 and xrdp played nice right out of the box, but it's a lower powered SOC board, but suitable to run a SoftEtherVPN server. I guess I'll try uninstall xfce4 and xrdp, try clean both off Armbian and try again. I think I installed xrdp first then xfce4. I am using the Armbian image download that had xfce4 already installed onto it. Let me know when this image is up, where to get it from and I'll try it for you.

Hello kind folk. Hoping someone can help. What's listed below is what gone wrong. Armbian monitor diagnostics dump: http://ix.io/3yOY All I've done is install Armbian, did the 'apt update && apt upgrade' and enabled options to see how will it will work. I'm not sure if I have done something wrong for several DT overlays not to load. I can see it states that (what is an ftd?) base ftds are missing a node and need recompiling. How do I do that? (The analog codec does load. It's the only one that does.)

Same problem here. PSU I'm using delivers 5.35 volts at 2 amps, but I also have a smarter USB PSU which can deliver up to 8v at 3 amps. It's only the Armbian distro where the issue is, but I'm informed that something was changed to fix this, but broke the HDMI output on the BananaPro?

I'm starting right from scratch with Armbian and it is Armbian I wish to use. PSU supplies 5.35 volts at a maximum of 2 amps. The monitor, at the moment, is a Sony Bravia 43" TV, but I wish to use the BananaPro headless through terminal and X11. I've just reflashed the mmc with the buster image that has xfce4 set-up and setting this up through the serial console first. I am looking towards donating to this project. On the topic of setting-up Linux absolutely from scratch, my lever of expertise of Linux is somewhere between beginner and moderate. Right now I have no clue how to get anything to show on the TV through the HDMI cable. It stays blank. I've only set-up Armbian through the serial console.and now have it connected to the network.
