Manual installation

U-Boot

Mainline U-Boot as of v2019.10 does not yet support this board or SoC.

$ git clone https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-F2S-bsp
$ cd BPI-F2S-bsp
$ ./configure BPI-F2S-720P
$ make u-boot

This should build u-boot-sp/u-boot.img.

Prepare a microSD card with an MBR partition, formatted as FAT32.

# mkfs.fat -F 32 /dev/sdX1

Prepare a uEnv.txt placeholder file:

uenvcmd=echo TO BE FILLED IN

Copy sp-pack/sp7021/bin/ISPBOOOT.BIN (sic!), u-boot-sp/u-boot.img and uEnv.txt onto that FAT32 partition.

Known issues:

Kernel

The Linux kernel as of v5.5 does not yet support this board or SoC.
