The Banana has Emmc on board but I've not found an idiots guide to help me install to it, and if I'm honest I'm far from impressed with the Images supplied, hardly a surprise from BPi, its all mystical everyone knows how to do it stuff.....
Anway, got it working with Ubuntu 18, sometimes, with SD, GLmark2 crawled along so slow I didn't even bother waiting for it to finish....it wasn't reporting any drivers and it was clearly emulating
Debian, also seems to get stuck in a boot mode....lights are flashing but nothing much else is going on, I get a blank screen, suggesting something is happening, I guess I'm supposed to click something, or set something, or some other mad shit... but bottom line is...it does not boot to a nice friendly desktop for me to play with....end of game, In the drawer
ohhh as I type this, it came up....ok...lets run update on it....
oh its slow
nope can't access update, maybe doing an update in the background.
No GLMark2 on board, so I'll try to install my test project, which initially failed to compile due to memory issues, it only has 1GB of RAM on board and it looks like a fair chunk of it is used by OS and GPU, as it only reports 566 available.
So I set it to compile 1 thread and it managed it..pretty quick for a single thread...but didn't fire up, I get this error
we got an xwindow
we got an Nativewindow
we got an EGLDisplay
libEGL warning: DRI2: failed to authenticate
I've seen this before a few times and seem to recall a few work arounds but as this is just a see what it does test, I'm not going to hunt around.. One last attempt at an update/upgrade which works this time.
and a final build attempt...
nope...back in the drawer till I have time to review
The le frite actually worked a bit better, but again, no drivers....not a lot of point in continuing
trying it again to update...it locks into a boot fail loop
sigh...back in the drawer
