0ldman Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 (edited) Hello. Sorry, I am Russian and have no money for a strong computer. I have only a tablet PC, but I really want to learn Linux (and at the same time try it). So I am trying to install Armbian build on my tablet (Texet TM-9751HD). The most suitable build (mainline Kernel 4.19) is "Bananapi M2" (but it was loaded only with the "yones-toptech-bs1078-v2.dtb", so I was able to get a prompt # - suggestion to log in, where I must input login/password). The problem is that the tablet has only one micro-usb port, which works as charging and OTG. The keyboard works fine under Android, but doesn't respond at the prompt. Also, I tried the old Kernel(3.4) and the original Script.bin, tried to edit lghtdm.conf for autologin (but it didn't work), tried to added g_hid.ko into "modules" file... I don't have the opportunity to build u-boot.bin and right DTB-file. I read somewhere here that the usb-OTG doesn't work < 4.4 kernel ... How to turn on the keyboard? Or any chance to get work display and touchscreen to be able to use the screen keybord?

PS You can write to me in PM in Russian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0ldman Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 I just don't have another "hardware". I'm planning to observe the system, read books and howto, learn commands and try to excecute them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
