I have Banana Pi (BPi-M1) with Allwinner A20 SoC, this one

(ARM Cortex-A7 dual-core, 1GHz, Mali400MP2 GPU)

But in this manual, here, about starting on x86 architecture there are note:

We only generate and certify images which work on a 64 bit system. If you require 32 bit, You can generate the image using ubuntu-device-flash.

But I couldn't find manual how to generate this image.

  • As I can understand, I need rootfs image from Ubuntu Core for 32-bit system (like for Raspberry Pi 2), and then build image for my banana like that.

Your title contradicts your question, ARM is not x86, they are two different architectures, you need Ubuntu for ARM not x86.

As you use Banana pi specifically, you can take your pick of images for that device on there website.

The Ubuntu versions available are Lubuntu and Ubuntu, no versions are given on the page but the Ubuntu at least is 15.04 and that may be an issue but there are many more distributions to choose from.

  • True, now I see my stupidness. I meant 32-bit system.. How I can generate this image?

  • You don't generate an image, on the site I gave you are a load of pre made images for your device, snappy core won't work on ARM, it is for x86_64 PCs only.

  • But how about that? Raspberry Pi 2 also have ARMv7 multicore processor.

  • I already install Lubuntu image, but want more effective using resources. I saw manual, how to build image for my banana, but I need the rootfs package of Ubuntu Core for 32-bit system.. Am I right?
