That isn't really "crashed", I can't even see a Kernel Panic or something similar. But as I face a lot of problems with that Allwinner CPU crap myself (pcDuino v1 here), here are some options that might enable you to help yourself:
- Put the device on your network via Ethernet to have a stable connection. Try to SSH into your pcDuino. Use
arp -aon your network (on some other device) to see the IPs and Mac-addresses of all connected devices. If you can't identify the pcDuino, you might want to log into your routers GUI via some browser and check the IP. Then just usessh ubuntu@192.168.0.1using the IP your network. If you don't know it, you can get your own Gateway IP address via for e.g.route -n get defaulton OS X, viaipconfig,ifconfig, etc. You can then perform a IP range scan using for e.g. nmap withnmap -sP 192.168.0.2-254. The default password isubuntu. You can try to fix your APT packages if some are broken withsudo apt-get -f installfor e.g. Additional note: If that works, you might want to generate a SSH key pair, add it to the keychain. More about that here on this GitHub tutorial. - If that does not work, you can generate a new Kernel SD-Card (see this lame tutorial on linksprite, which should be enough) and a new USB-stick containing the OS to flash it. Additional note: In case you encounter a
envandbash not founderror, just change the shebang in theupdate.shfile to#!/bin/shwhich is enough to get the OS installation running.
Sidenote: I managed to put Lubuntu 14.04 on it about a year ago, but it then ran out of space, so this really is not recommended.
