Flash. Instructions below will teach you how to write an OS image to your SD card or eMMC Flash under Windows and
Linux.
1.Insert your SD card into your computer. The size of SD should be larger than the OS image size, generally 8GB or
greater.
2.Format the SD card.
Format your SD under Windows os :
Download the a SD card format tool such as SD Formatter from

https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/
*Unzip the download file and run the setup.exe to install the tool on your machine.
*In the "Options" menu, set "FORMAT TYPE" option to QUICK, "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" option to "ON".
50
BPI-M3 Quick Start
*Check that the SD card you inserted matches the one selected by the Tool.
*Click the Format button.
Format your SD under Linux os :
*Run fdisk l command to check the SD card node.
*Run sudo fdisk /dev/sdx command to delete all partition of SD card.
*Run mkfs t vfat /dev/sdx command to format the entire SD card as FAT. (x should be replaced according to your SD card
node)
3,Download the OS image from Download district(http://www.banana-pi.org)
4.Unzip the download file to get the OS image.
Windows: Right click on the file and choose Extract all.
Linux: Run unzip [downloaded filename] command.
5.Write the image file to the SD card.
Android image
5.1 You need to use Phoenix Card to make the SD card. Download the Phoenix Card from https://drive.google.com/open?

Step4: Set up your Banana Pi M3
According to the set up diagram below, you can easily set up your Banana Pi.
53
BPI-M3 Quick Start
1. Insert the written-image SD card that to the SD card spot on the left side edge of the underside of the board.
2. 2.On the bottom "edge" in the middle of the board is the HDMI Type A (Full sized) port. Just connect any HDMI cable
from the board to your TV or HDMI Monitor.
3. Plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the USB slots located on the right edge.
4. Just under the USB ports on the right edge is the Ethernet connector for anyone who wants to plug the Banana Pi into
a wired network.
5. 5.Finally, at the very left of the bottom edge is the USB power connector. Plug in a regulated power supply that is rated
at 5V 5% / 2000mA (or 2A). Any number bigger than 700 mA will also work. Avoid using the smaller chargers used for
small GSM phones, as these are often unregulated, even if they claim "5V 1A", they may do "5V" and may do "1A", but
not at the same time!
If all goes well, the Banana Pi will boot in a few minutes. The screen will display the OS GUI.
Step5: Shut down your Banana Pi
You can use the GUI to shut down the Banana Pi safely.
Also you can run the command in the terminal:
sudo halt or sudo shutdown h
This will shut down the PI safely, (just use the power key to turn off might damage the SD-cards file system). After that you
can press the power key for 5 seconds to turn it off.
If all is well ,so you can use banana pi M3 now.

The newly supported boards are:
Banana Pi M2+ with H3 chip Banana Pi M3 with A83T chip
for BPI-M1 and BPI-M1+ use A20 chip design ,also can find some support for A20.
As you can see, H3 is used in a lot of boards. Each of them have different specs. Some of them are available at a very
cheap price.
The original OpenELEC and LibreELEC port has been done by @jernejsk and we backported it to Lakka.
The images can be downloaded from there:
http://mirror.lakka.tv/nightly/
@Ntemis took care of testing the image on some of these boards and Lakka and RetroArch are working well on them.
If you are new to Lakka and want to test one of the images, just adapt the installation instruction that you can find on our
website for any other ARM board.
As I dont own any of these boards myself, I cant check them for regressions and support them officially for now. But I will
as soon as some contributors send me one or two.
We need more owners of any of these boards on our IRC chan to check if all the images are really working well. Remember
that this is mainly untested work when you report bugs.

how to setup docker env. to build banana pi github source code
step 1: install docker
https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/ubuntulinux/
step 2: docker run
https://hub.docker.com/r/sinovoip/bpi-build/
$ docker run -d -p 2222:22 -v /media:/media sinovoip/bpi-build:ubuntu12.04
on your host
$ ssh -p 2222 root@127.0.0.1 //default passwd is root
or (with --privileged can use /dev/loop for create img)
$ docker run -d -p 3333:22 --privileged -v /media:/media sinovoip/bpi-build:ubuntu12.04
$ ssh -p 3333 root@127.0.0.1 //default passwd is root
step 3: git clone
# cd /media/XXX/your-source
# git clone https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M3-bsp.git
step 4: build
# ./build.sh
how to create your own env. to build the code
step 1: git clone https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/bpi-build.git
step 2: vi Dockerfile
step 3. vi build.sh
step 4: ./build.sh
why use docker env. to build banana pi source code
1. allwinner tools needs ubuntu12.04 with ia32-libs ...

2. user maybe use ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 and newer like 16.04, the docker env. the same, even other linux like fedora
opensuse archlinux ...., or other os like macos , windows ...
3. build BPI-Mx-bsp env. than mainline kernel & uboot or android 4.X or android 5.X / 6.X not the same.

1 Compile BPI-M3 BSP
create a dir for BPI-M3 and get source code from gitgub
mkdir bananapi
cd bananapi
git clone https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M3-bsp.git
cd BPI-M3-bsp
mkdir -p linux-sunxi/output/lib/firmware
2, run this segment if you use 64 bits platform
the official kit was compiled on 32 bit platform ,so you must support 32bit execution in your 64 bits ubuntu.
121
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libncurses5:i386 libstdc++6:i386 zlib1g:i386
3,install necessary tools:(skip this if you have executed the two instructions in the segment of the 64 bits)
sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential u-boot-tools binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabihf-base g++-4

4,begin to Compile
for me, i need use LCD on BPI-M3, so i choose is:3
./build.sh
now choose menu:
BPI-M3 BSP Build Tool

==========================================
This tool support following BPI board(s):

------------------------------------------
1. BPI_M3_720P
2. BPI_M3_1080P
3. BPI_M3_LCD7
4. BPI_M3_USB_720P
5. BPI_M3_USB_1080P
6. BPI_M3_USB_LCD7
------------------------------------------
Please choose a target(1-6): 3
Now configuring...
BPI_M3_LCD7 configured. Now run `make`
Configure success!
please waitting , it need long time to compile,it takes a while and depends on the performance of your computer
122
Note: if compile success ,will have ../bananapi/BPI-M3-BSP dir.if it does not show up, any other "build success" screen are
deceptive.
5 burn image to SD card:
take a new SD card , and install official image to SD card.
official image : http://www.banana-pi.org/download.html
the next step, be sure to choose the correct device.
sudo fdisk -l
123
umount /dev/sdf*
clean
sudo fdisk /dev/sdf

p
d
w
sync
please use "d" clean partition.And then dropped the device completely clear
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdf bs=4M
buru official image to SD card .please do not Android and Berryboot image.
example: ArchLinux
image name: 015-12-09-ArchLinuxARM-lite-bpi-m3-sd-emmc.img.zip
unzip 2015-12-09-ArchLinuxARM-lite-bpi-m3-sd-emmc.img.zip -d ~
cd ~
sudo dd if=2015-12-09-ArchLinuxARM-lite-bpi-m3-sd-emmc.img of=/dev/sdf bs=4M
waiting still dd finish.
umount /dev/sdf*
check partition
sudo fsck /dev/sdf1

sudo fsck /dev/sdf2
change /dev/sdf2 to ext2and change size
sudo tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/sdf2

sudo e2fsck -f /dev/sdf2
Write the first compiled data: next step will clean partition table, so we must transcribe it at first
124
go to we just compiled things stored folder
cd ~/bananapi/BPI-M3-bsp/download/BPI_M3_LCD7
all file will such as this below:
Empty memory card 1m before space (and clears the partition table)
sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdf bs=1M count=1
in order to write compiled file
125
sudo dd if=boot0_sdcard.fex of=/dev/sdf bs=1k seek=8

sudo dd if=u-boot.fex of=/dev/sdf bs=1k seek=19096
sudo dd if=sunxi_mbr.fex of=/dev/sdf bs=1k seek=20480
sudo dd if=boot-resource.fex of=/dev/sdf bs=1k seek=36864
sudo dd if=env.fex of=/dev/sdf bs=1k seek=69632
sudo dd if=boot.fex of=/dev/sdf bs=1k seek=86016
recovery partition table,and increase the capacity to the memory card is the largest,also change to /dev/sdf2.
sudo fdisk /dev/sdf

linux-sunxi wiki
Be aware that the board manufacturer is not cooperative. Despite its name the M3 is incompatible to Banana
Pi/M1/M1+/Pro due to a different SoC requiring different boot loaders and drivers. It's just another attempt to cash in on the
Banana Pi's popularity with another incompatible SBC sharing brand, name, form factor and GPIO header.

Linux mainlining effort
Linux mainlining effort

The purpose of this page is to try and define sub-goals and milestones for the mainlining effort, containing goals and sub-
goals with milestones for adding Allwinner support in the upstream mainline Linux Kernel.
It is very important to note that this is intended as a rough set of minimal goals - it is not meant to collide with the huge effort
of rewriting major drivers!
