Shin1gami Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Good night to everyone. I'm so desperate to boot any image in existance on my BPro, so i need Your help. I've tried a lot of images (few examples below), but none of them worked. bananian-1504.img bananian-1508.img Lubuntu_For_BananaPro_v1412.img Armbian_4.2_Bananapi_Debian_jessie_4.1.6.raw My SD card is: KINGMAX microSDHC (class 10) 16G I've tried several approaches: Just: dd bs=1M if=image.raw of=/dev/sdd With partitions: 1. fdisk /dev/sdd 2. created new DOS label ("o") 3. created new primary partition 1 (2048, +75M) 4. addded new primary partition 2 (155648, +3G) 5. applied changes ("w") 6. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd bs=1K count=1023 seek=1 7. mkfs.vfat /dev/sdd1 8. mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd2 9. dd bs=1M if=imafe.raw of=/dev/sdd2 None of them worked. I've tried also on my Win7 via "ImageWriter" - same result. It might seem that my board is broken, but I can successfully boot an Android image without any issue. Errors: One time i managed to get to TFTP section, but it always gave me "Loading: T T T" no matter of my actions. Thanks in advance.
tkaiser Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 The second approach cannot work since the images already contain bootloader, partition table and data, therefore you neither need to partition your card prior to burning nor should you overwrite a specific partition but the whole card instead. Have you checked the integrity of the SD card? There's an error related to not being able to read the partition table in your screenshot. Never ever use flash based media without a whole integrity check before. And I would try Armbian/Wheezy for Banana Pi. Can't remember with which version it was but I also had starting issues with jessie some time ago. BTW: If you're on OS X it should read 'bs=1m' instead of 'bs=1M'
