Let me be the first to applaud you on your hard work. I'll be trying this on my lime2 with NAND tonight. I was looking to build the latest kernel and piecing together all the guides to move it to NAND. It seems you did all the hard work with some very nice tweaks in the mix for me.

[igorpec]

Thanks 

Installation to NAND is solved a bit dirty but it works Android must be previously installed on NAND which usually is and we need one Allwinner blob to boot. I haven't found better solution / documentation to solve this.

Good work!
I have A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-4GB and I think to test the image on it.
Do you plan to include mali hwd accelerated drivers, tslib and config in the image?

Thanks! I'll be glad for feed back on image. So far I am focusing for headless usage.

Added mainline kernel 3.18.0.RC3 based image. Tested on Lime 1 and 2.

Usable for headless.

Your build script does work great on A20 Micro 4GB too.
I just had to change the script.bin file with mine and ts and sata started working.
Then tried "install to sata" script found in /root and it worked too. Good idea to format just the 1st partition, but not the whole hdd, btw =)
Now I have snappy debian installed on sata, lcd working out-of-the-box after replacing the script.bin.
Good work man.
If you decide to include script for building debian especially for A20 Micro's, I'll send you the modified fex, which works with 7" ts LCD or you can just get it from Olimex repo on github.
Do you have an idea how to compile xbmc? I saw something on cubies forums some time ago and it based on your distro.

Hi, Spark,

Could you share your A20 Micro 4GB image?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Mr Manev,

Here is the link to the sd image: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B61QPX79jyLhbUdJcmtzVTRtRzA/view?usp=sharing

just the root password is changed to toor

Not compiled fex: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B61QPX79jyLhNVV0ZHl5elNCbnc&authuser=0
I presume that you know how to compile fex to bin.
Replace script.bin on the sd card after you write the image.

Modified uExt.txt: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B61QPX79jyLhUktyNTdTd0pXSFk&authuser=0
Replace uExt.txt ont the card.

Enjoy

Just a little bit out-of-topic: I tried Ubuntu Core for arm and it works too.

Hi,

One question from me, is there any possibility that yours image don't want to boot from some kind of SD cards?

I have 2GB kingston and linux are hanging on waiting for /dev/mmcblk0p1

[MBR]

Yes, some SD cards just don't work, try another one from a different manufacturer.

[gurumelo]

Thanks. I am going to test in A20 micro.

[Cosik]

Hi igorpec,

You metion that you prepared Kernel 3.4.105 with new MALI driver. Do you have any tutorial how to do it correctly?

[OniNiubbo]

Nice job! I'm using the Jessie image in my DIY NAS done with a LIME2. Works like a charm.
