What should be changed to make Blueos work on another SBC?

[EliotBR (Eliot)]

Hi @awerds, welcome to the forum

@awerds

I am trying to install BlueOS on OrangePi3 , which is an another SBC which run Ubuntu on it … It seems like the reason is that the OrangePi organize the device in a differernt way with RassbarryPi ( for example there is no ttyAMAx device ) , so some of the scripts do not work right . What should I do to make it work?

If we knew the exact steps required to support an alternative operating system and/or device type, we would add them to the installer script ourselves and would already support it. As is, there’s been some discussion about Ubuntu support here, but as it’s not something we’ve tried ourselves (and since we also don’t have access to an OrangePi or the time to test with one) we can’t provide installation steps until someone else tries it and determines a set of steps that works.

Note that

@EliotBR

BlueOS is open source, and extendable to other systems
…
If you (or someone else) can pull together the relevant changes into a pull request we would be happy to review it and try to get the changes merged in so everyone can benefit from them

We’re very willing to help out if someone wants to try to add support for another board type, but it’s not something we have the bandwidth to actively work on by ourselves at the moment.
