Dear Banana Pi team,

I would like to know if if is possible to upgrade Ubuntu Mate to the next Long Term Support (18.04) in order to continue to use my M2U ?

The problem is 16.04 should stop in April 2019.

Could you please feedback ? Thank you very much.

No feedback. No support. Even one word.
I have bought a Chinese copy of Raspberry pi, then no service at all, no community.
It's the latest time I buy something from Banana.

Hi prog-amateur,
When You buy something cheap don't expect support ;). If You wants to upgrade to 18.04 You need to recompile all environment or just download ready beta 18.04 release and update partition manually using dd tool for instance. Only thing You need to remember is to copy kernel modules after manual upgrade of rootfs. Remember that 18.04 is in beta release now and shouldn't be used for professional.
Besides above even on PC Linux upgrade to 18.04 is impossible due to the beta release.

I hope this helps
You a bit
Regards

Thank you @voloviq for your comment.

The problem is that I am a beginner, so I can make dd for example, but compile is really hard to me.
I have bought another card with better Linux support, but I still have the BPI, so I would be happy to work again on it if it is easy.
Anyway, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS should be released in a few days, I hope it will be possible to implement it in the BPI-M2U.
If an easy (I insist) tutorial exists, please feel free to post a link here, then I will try to compile.

I can confirm that Armbian with Ubuntu 18.04 and kernel 4.18.13 is running with SATA port
Many thanks to Igor for his work !!
But there are some issues :

Can we hope from Sinovoip some help for fixing these issues ?
I have lost my illusions for working my I2S audio card
