Re: Most appropriate image and u-boot for banana-pi M5

[Max Baroi <max%baroi.com@localhost>]

Hey all,

I had another idea but wasn't sure of its feasibility. I am able to find images to install a different OS onto the board in question, and it seems the installed boot loader would be U-Boot. Is there a way to do an initial install with a different OS and then once it's up and running replace it with NetBSD?

Apologies if this is a faulty line of reasoning. I'm extremely new to the SoC ARM world.

Thanks for any reply,
Max Baroi
