New kernel version uploaded.
Fixed problems with booting on trusty & wheezy images and with old images.

Please download scriptbin_kernel.tar.gz from Mega or Google drive, unpack and replace the kernel (uImage) on your SD Card (FAT partition), according with board used.

@john0815 I think the problem should be solved with new kernel.
@Sitheek
  have you copied the right script.bin and uImage ? Please use the new kernels.
  lechee.tar.gz was removed because there were some changes. I'll upload it again soon. It was needed only if you wanted to build your own kernel.
  I've ordered the camera module, when I receive it I'll try to fix the camera issues. For now I can't help you with anything related to camera. Sorry.

I think the trick is related with proper settings of CSI sections in script.bin

I have changed only name of the camera form gc2035 to ov5640 and dmesg says somthing different than before :

Me and my friend will try to figure it out what to change in script.fex.
Superb, when you get the sensor we can work together to fix all issues

install_xfce_desktop script updated.
Fixed installing xfce desktop on Debian Jessie.

Download desktop_scripts.tar.gz from Mega or Google drive, extract to /usr/local/bin.

Thank you - now boot from old image works.
Can you make a script to flash emmc from an older SD-Card image, I think there are some file missing, what your script needs.
Can you make a skript to make a Backup from emmc to SD-Card. So that we can use this SD card to flash another OPI

thx

Question: How can I transfer my old system from sd-card ...

Prepare your SD Card to work with new kernel/script.bin as described in the 1st post (use the newest scriptbin_kernel.tar.gz !)
Also copy all files (without lib directory) from scriptbin_kernel.tar.gz to /boot directory on your linux partition.
Then run install_to_emmc.
(script expects to find boot0_OPI.fex and u-boot_OPI-emmc.fex in /boot directory)

install_to_emmc can be easily adapted for reverse operation (emmc->sdcard). I'll do it later.

Thank you. It had worked. I had to copy the files from fat to emmc fat extra.

I think you are the same who had presented in freaktab forum a linux solution for mk808b+.
I have the prob that keyboard and lan do not work after switching from android tu mate. In android both work.
Any idea what ca happened.

Have you seen this

Is it realistic that this is ok and a beginner than I can build such an image.

Thx for your kind reply

Hi!
Please tell me which of your assemblies
i can use
UART 1-3, USBtoCOM, SPI, i2c, PWM, intrrupt GPIO, intrrupt Timer?
and compiler GCC ?
how to modify your project (detail)
thank.

Hi!
Please tell me which of your assemblies
i can use

gpio0-30, uart0, spi0, i2c0 (twi0) are enabled
usb2serial drivers are available for CP210x, FTDI and PL2302

In the next kernel version I'll enable pwm and uart1-3

I don't understand what do you mean by "and compiler GCC ?" and "how to modify your project"

Update:

Debian Jessie with XFCE desktop uploaded to Mega.
desktop & install scripts (desktop_scripts.tar.gz) updated
build scripts (make_linux.tar.gz) updated
added new script install_to_sdcard. Use it to backup your emmc installation to bootable sd card. See 1st post for details

Hints:

When installing to emmc, you can use btrfs option to format your emmc Linux partition as btrfs, it will be mounted with compress=lzo option and you can save up to 40% of emmc size.
Check the 1st post to see if there are updated kernels, script.bin (scriptbin_kernel.tar.gz) and install scripts (desktop_scripts.tar.gz) available
