It seems that I will definitely have to change the connection pins and something else, because I have a raspberry pi zero 2w, not an orange pi zero 3. Well, okay, I'll try to use your DTS only to adapt it for my board when I have free time.

Hi Pami, I haven't had time to check your connection list and DTS. The LCD you showed is exactly the same I have I have both ili9486 and ili9488, and they work with the same connections, same DTS, same bin, same driver You should be able to copy all the wiring I describe in the DTS, the DTS, bin/txt and armbianEnv.txt line, and it should work. Start from a fresh self-built armbian OS, with the panel-mipi-dbi driver activated in the linux config phase.

I currently have a X96 Air S905X3 4GB/64GB box that has 1Gbit ethernet and a USB 3.0 port that works well with Armbian. This was bought 5 years ago for only 35 USD. I would like to find another box for Armbian that also has 1000M/1Gbit ethernet + USB 3.0. The same or similar boxes are selling for 50-60USD at the moment which is a lot for an old box. Are there any other boxes with 1Gbit ethernet at a low price that work with Armbian? Not bothered about other features, wifi quality, performance otherwise - just Gbit ethernet and USB 3. Open to all processors - Amlogic, Allwinner, Rockchip etc

If I look at https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m5/ the SBC is still supported. There were infrastructure problems, but that was before last weekend. I upgraded several Armbians (rockchip64 and sunxi) but are Debian Trixie based. I do not know about Ubuntu based and Amlogic/meson, but kernel is anyway Armbian and Ubuntu servers should be online. If you still have the old Ubuntu, it should be possible to upgrade in-place, so not new image, but edit sources.list files and then run normal upgrade.

Back again with a diff problem. I just tried to update 141 pkgs, from a meson-56 kernel to a meson-58 but the update died at the new initrd stage. Last update run was in November 25. Then I find on a reboot, that the noble 25.xx I was using no longer has a release file. So I dl'd the newest xfce version, burn it, boot it, get the net working & find its expired too. No updates or additions like mdadm can be downloaded. This is my backup server & has 11.2T of raid6 storage with backups of my whole 8 machine network on it. Or did have. Do you intend to support the bpi-m5 with further releases or is it now history? I know the release file timeout is not Your problem & you cannot fix it, but a respin of the latest ubuntu LTS would sure would be appreciated.
