Greetings all;
My 3d printer farm is out of business, all the rock64's died, as in no hdmi
video anymore, and the rock64's weren't
that great due to extreme interference between the video and usb activity. I
can still log into them and can run
stuff from here, but its a bit useless to try and run a 3d printer from out
of sight 3 rooms away.
So I have a question for your arm folks, as I have a 4 pack of the latest
4gig bannana pi's on order.
FWWIW, I do run octoprint on a BananaPI (older 1GB model, don't recall the exact
modell, but I *think* it is an BananaPI BPI-M1
Can it can now run an xfce4 desktop, just like an rpi4b, giving good video
for octoprint?
I'm not using a DE on the banapi, I login remotely to octoprint from another
machine or using OctoRemote on Android.
If it can, a URL for the latest image would be very appreciated.
Not sure what you mean with image. AFAIC there is no "octopi-style, ready to
run" image for the BananaPi. /me installed it ages ago, and IIRC I used a
Debian installer for that. Said that, I'm not sure what BananaPi you are
getting, but https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Allwinner lists a few,
and a few as
marked as "unsupported bootstraping."
