This morning, I took an hour out of my busy schedule to experience a banana pie that was sent a few days ago. The overall experience is quite good.
First brush the SD card, I use the system is Raspberry Pi raspbian into the bananapi system, making the SD card See http://www.lemaker.org/resources/9-81/raspbian_for_bananapi.html.
It also officially supports lubuntu, archlinux, opensuse, Android, and other systems. See http://www.lemaker.org/resources/9-38/image_files.html for supported systems
In terms of hardware, it is worth mentioning that a SATA port can be connected to a 2 TB hard disk for NAS convenience. Unfortunately, only large SD cards are supported, but not microSD cards. The latest Raspberry Pi supports microSD cards.
The whole process went smoothly. I switched the network cable, mouse, keyboard, hdmi to the vgaline to the Monitor (I switched the hdmi to the vgahead with a flash connection, and I felt okay), and finally connected to the USB power supply, pay attention to the micro USB port with a DC-IN next to it. I use the 2a power of the iPad.
After the instance is started, you can smoothly enter the bananapi startup interface, and then enter the desktop. I am using the SSH logon interface because I do not know the default password of the bananapi account, I couldn't find it on the official website, so I had to enter the sudo passwd bananapi command on the keyboard to change the password. Fortunately, I could change the password, and then I could use SSH [email protected] to log on remotely. From the desktop, we can see that the Arduino, Python, scratchgpio and other programs have been installed, which is quite practical. Later, we had time to use python to implement a remote monitoring system.
