The Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 Hello, I wanted to upgrade my Bananapi M1. So I downloaded "Buster minimal" from https://www.armbian.com/bananapi/ Last modified: 2020-02-17. I flashed the image to my SD card and started the SBC. But nothing happened. I got no heartbeat LED nor HDMI output. (I know from my Tinkerboard that I have to boot without connected HDMI to start correct. I did this with the bananapi too.) So I tried different variants: Bionic server, Buster server and Buster desktop. I never had a video output. I cross checked with my old raspian lite from 2016. With this image the Bananapi works. I used dd and Etcher for SD card preparation. What am I doing wrong? Can I use this version with the Bananapi? Best regards.

The Posted March 20, 2020 Author Posted March 20, 2020 Thank you very much. This was really fast. I tried different images: Armbian_5.90_Bananapi_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop - Green heartbeat LED flashes sometimes. No HDMI output. Armbian_19.11.6_Bananapi_buster_current_5.4.8_desktop - No heartbeat LED. No HDMI output. All new Armbian_20.02.5_Bananapi_xxxx_xxxxx_5.4.26 - No heartbeat LED. No HDMI output. Is HDMI output enabled? Is the green heartbeat LED enabled? I want to install some things in front of the SBC. If all is configured I want to use it headless. Do you have some hints for me?

HDMI 100% works. 10 hours ago, The said: new Armbian_20.02.5_Bananapi_xxxx_xxxxx_5.4.26 Was manually tested by me. It works. HDMI screen already starts in boot loader. Get a serial console and see what you got there. If anything? 10 hours ago, The said: Is the green heartbeat LED enabled? Not sure how it is configured - power, SD card activity, heartbeat ... This is not consistent over all boards. Its low priority to make this the same.

With a shorter cable it works. Now my Bananapi M1 runs well. @Igor: Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the quick answers. Now I share all current torrents for that SBC.
