OSError: Cannot detect RPi-Sense FB device #30

I know this has already been brought up before, but none of the other problems seem to provide a solution to me.

I am using a bananapro with Raspian distro.

When running a a test script with sense_hat, an OSError is raised that reads
"Cannot detect RPi-Sense FB device"

When running: sudo RTIMULibDrive11

This is what is returned.

Settings file RTIMULib.ini loaded
No IMU detected
Using fusion algorithm RTQF
No IMU found

The sense_hat is clearly not being detected, and I have no idea why.

uname -a

Linux cubesat 3.4.103 #4 SMP PREEMPT Thu Dec 18 12:55:58 CST 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux

vcgencmd version

-bash: vcgencmd: command not found

ls /dev/fb*

/dev/fb0  /dev/fb1

dmesg

http://pastebin.com/F0a32ckn

sudo dtc -I fs /proc/device-tree

FATAL ERROR: Couldn't opendir() "/proc/device-tree": No such file or directory

The device tree is enabled in raspi-config.

boot/config.txt

dtparam=spi=on
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#device_tree=

also tried

dtparam=spi=on
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
device_tree=

still returns

FATAL ERROR: Couldn't opendir() "/proc/device-tree": No such file or directory

We only support raspberry pi.

Does the sense_hat work on bananapi at all? Do you know if anyone has had any luck with it?

I have a raspi and I still have the same problem.

No idea if it works on Banana Pi. Try asking the developers.

If you have the same issue on Raspberry Pi, please post your information here.

How would I go about speaking with the developers of sense_hat?

Or are you referring to the BananaPi developers?

If you take a raspberry pi and install either raspbian lite and 'apt-get install sense-hat' and reboot or if you just use the full image and provide the same information you did in the first post, I would be happy to help.

Yes, I meant the developers of Banana Pi. We're an educational charity, we don't have time to give customer support to users of other people's hardware.

As @XECDesign said, take an image from raspberrypi.org/downloads and if the Sense HAT still doesn't work, try posting the same information you provided earlier here.
