What is your experience with platform support (linux) with the BananaPi?
- chopin 9y agoFor my purposes, very good. There is a Raspi equivalent image and, afair, a Bananian image. I used the former on my first BananaPi (this runs my NAS). The latter runs a BananaPi I have used as a secondary ADS server (now it serves only as DNS, as I switched all desktops to Linux, see discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16582231 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16582231 as to why). Both run smoothly. EDIT: I should say (that's independent whether you use Raspberry or BananaPi) that both run for months without intervention. The only thing I found to be important is a good power source. I had frequently file system errors due to dying (somewhat cheap) chargers used as power source. I finally got a switched 50W multi charger (10 outlets á 2A) which I connected all Raspis and Bananas to. Since then, everything works pretty smooth.
