Hi
I have started to write a 'manual' about the setup of a BPi-R1 (Router).
In the threads of the Forum, the information is scattered and it takes so much time for each to get along.
So I thought such a document would help to become not only faster, but better result as well.
My know how is getting better, but many things are missing.
If you like to help the 'community' with your know how, please edit the document to your best know how.
Google Docs
Thank you in advance - for your support
Cheers

Where do I get the headers for the 3.4 if I installed Bananian 15.01?
I think desired headers does not exits. You can try with my kernel which is supplied with headers but I haven't add anything special regarding router R1 yet.
It's possible to compile drivers. Due to a bit different / modern approach you might need to replace a boot loader too.

Hi Igor,
Thank you for your support, your website looks interesting.
Your Image is based on Kernel 3.14 or 3.19 - somewhere I read that the MALI GPU (driver) does only play nice with Kernel 3.4.x
Have you ever done some tests with your image, whether the HDMI output works well?
Cheers

Hi Igor,
Thank you for your support, your website looks interesting.
Thanks. I am trying ;)
I provide separate images, one with 3.4.106 and the other with 3.19.0. Both are working well in desktop mode, HDMI output is normal. I can't comment the usage of MALI since I never even tested it. It's working as it works, probably there are still some problems. Probably it's working only in 3.4.x since in mainline we just came up with so called "simple graphics console". HDMI out in mainline started to work not before 3.19
There is one minor bug in current 3.19 release regarding desktop - no mouse - so wait for new release / kernel update. I am also planning to join both kernels on one image ASAP. |

I had an error regarding "ncurses" not being there.
I found the package to get it, am I the only one or has everyone needed to do this?
apt-get install libncurses5-dev |
