Hi there,
on my third BananaPi M5 I need a stable Linux image. So I downloaded the last johang bookworm image, wrote it to a sd card and started.
Unfortunately my Monitor stayed dark, nothing, absoluety nothing to see. However the monitor must get a signal, because the blue monitor LED was permenetly on. But there was nothing to see on the screen.
I tried to connect to the new BananaPi M% via ssh, and that works perfect. I was able to log in as root and could do all my settings (keyboard, installing apps)
Possibly there is only a small step I missed to do, but have no idea what this step may be,
Any hints for me?

Kind regards
Berni

These images are very minimal on purpose. You shouldn't expect advanced features to work out of the box.

Minimal is perfect for me to build a camera server with the Pi. But some characters on the screen are a must for me. :=)

Try the the other images. They have newer kernels.
