Bianbu Lichee Pi 3A Test Report
Test Environment
System Information
- System version: v3.0-minimal
- Download Links: https://archive.spacemit.com/image/k1/version/bianbu/v3.0/
- Reference Installation Document: https://wiki.sipeed.com/hardware/en/lichee/K1/lpi3a/1_intro.html
Hardware Information
- Lichee Pi 3A
- Power adapter
- A USB to UART Debugger
- A microSD Card (if flash to microSD)
- A Type-C cable for fastboot flash
Installation Steps
Flashing the Image (SD Card)
Please make sure to choose the file ending with .img.zip
After downloading and extracting the image, use dd to flash the image to the microSD card.
unzip bianbu-25.04-minimal-k1-v3.0-release-20250725114639.img.zip
sudo dd if=/path/to/bianbu-25.04-minimal-k1-v3.0-release-20250725114639.img of=/dev/your-device bs=1M status=progressFlashing the Image (eMMC)
Please make sure to choose the file ending without img
After downloading and extracting the image, use fastboot to flash the image to the eMMC.
unzip bianbu-25.04-minimal-k1-v3.0-release-20250725114639.zipHold the BOOT button while powering on/RST, to enter the fastboot mode. You shall see the dfu-device in your system.
Note: for the steps below,
sudomight be needed. Otherwisefastbootmight not pick up the board since it’s default USB VID/PID is not in the default udev rules.

Logging into the system via the serial port.
Default Username: root
Default Password: bianbu
Expected Results
The system should boot normally and allow login via the onboard serial port.
Actual Results
A Kernel Panic occurred during the boot process. The system is unable to boot. See the boot log below for details.
Boot Log
A KP/Kernel Panic occurred during the boot process, in spacemit_snd_sspa_pdev_probe.
