You can't use an SD card image meant for a Raspberry Pi on anything other than a Raspberry Pi.

To use another SBC, such as Banana Pi or ODroid, you first install the OS that they provide, then you run Rob Lancaster's AstroPi3 script which will download the source and build it for you on your SBC of choice. Pretty simple really.

Personally I'm running an ODroid N2+, with 4 CPU cores at 2.4 GHz, and 2 more CPU cores at 2 GHz, 4 GB RAM, and it even has a native m.2 SSD connector on it, although I'm using eMMC, which is still much faster than the dog slow SD cards that Raspberry Pis use. And it's cheaper than a Raspberry Pi (even if you could find one).
