Welcome to Bananian Linux
Bananian Linux is no longer under active development.
Bananian Linux is a pre-installed Debian 8 image optimized for Banana Pi/Pro. It uses the official Debian Jessie armhf repositories with a kernel and bootmanager (u-boot), customized for Banana Pi/Pro.
We support the Banana Pi (M1, M1+), Banana Pro and BPI-R1 with just one single image.
A separate image for the Banana Pi M2 is also available.
See Hardware Support for more information.
The main focus is to provide a lightweight headless platform for home servers, small webservers, cloud hosting, Linux based wifi access points, router, NAS systems, monitoring devices, etc.
