Build Commands LE 10.0.x for the R40?

  • Hi all,

    WoW! I haven't been in here for so long. Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Raspberry price and other boards are going skyrock and out of stock. I'm thinking of getting BananaPi M2 Ultra (R40). I might have overlooked but I don't see Build Commands LE 10.0.x for the R40.

    PROJECT=Allwinner ARCH=arm DEVICE=?? make image

    Thanks!

  • Due to historical reasons, DEVICE means SoC now, so DEVICE=R40. If you want to make image instead of just update tar file, you should also add UBOOT_SYSTEM=bananapi-m2u.

    Note that Bananapi M2U is not really a good choice for media device. R40 doesn't support HEVC, doesn't have power management coprocessor, which means there is no stand-by implemented, and supports only HDMI 1.4. If you want relatively cheap, solid TV box, Tanix TX6 (Allwinner H6) or clones are good choice, at least when looking at Allwinner based devices.
