> As a result m2s always boots from emmc with Armbian ignoring SD card with official images, that is ok. This is probably a result of the binary being used to boot from the SD card, which is the default bin flashed to the IMGs. u-boot.bin: eMMC u-boot.bin.sd.bin: SD In practice the u-boot.bin should be flashed to eMMC and u-boot.bin.sd.bin flashed to SD. Otherwise it will screw up the boot order. But that is neither here nor there. You got it working and that's what matters.

I understand. It is for sure a problem that needs to be resolved in Armbian. Not being able to easily input USER information and WIFI cred into a file before first boot is not ideal. Unless I'm missing something and someone knows of way to easily accomplish this? As far as minimal installs, it does seem it leans towards using netplan.io. One option would be to `sudo apt install -y armbian-config network-manager` followed by `sudo apt purge netplan.io --autoremove` and reboot. Once rebooted you can use either `sudo nmtui` or `sudo armbian-config` to setup WIFI with a bit more ease.

I don't have that baseboard, but my guess is, it's the same issue that has been reported before. Basically HOST mode needs to be enabled via overlay using `armbian-config`.

I suspect the issue is the version of U-Boot currently on the eMMC. When the board boots, if U-Boot is found on the eMMC, that is what will be used to do the initial boot. If an SDCARD is detected with a viable OS, it will then attempt to load it. It may be that the version of U-Boot "BSP?" on the eMMC is not compatible with Armbian and needs to be dd'd off. I just flashed this to SD to test.

I used gnome-disk-utility `gnome-disks`.

These units don't fair well under powered. If you are using a PSU to SPEC and still having issues try using a quality SDCARD.

Which img did you try? For usb boot, try adding usb_max_current_enable=1 to the config.txt file.

I've only worked with the BPI-M4-ZERO. My personally opinion on the h616/8 line up is that the focus should be on stable and not LTS. Little to none of the official mainline patches are being back ported and the patches being used currently in LTS are kind of hack-a-noodle patches. For example: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/CA+E=qVeMnQNrT8tNnHBnCL2Efy3VjbRAYQGMXstziCThRsiBDw@mail.gmail.com/T/ https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20240419071450.7aiheeoyq35yjoo7@vireshk-i7/T/ The ones being currently used in Armbian I believe are either RFC's or taken from OPI. The thermal patch above is already in 6.9.y. But with that said, if you have any questions feel free to hit me up and if I can, I'll help.

Try disabling wireless completely using the config.txt: dtoverlay=disable-wifi-pi5 If you don't need bluetooth disable that to: dtoverlay=disable-bt-pi5 Not enabling it in nmtui is not enough, the module is still active 'firmware is still getting loaded' and can't find a country code.

`modprobe i2c-dev` or add it to /etc/modules and reboot.

Its a bug. You need to make sure the wireless country code is set, even when its not being used.

New imgs are now available. 6.6.30-current-meson64 https://www.armbian.com/bananapicm4io/

I'll see if I can get those release imgs updated to something more recent and inquire about the breakage.

Damn. That's not good. Sorry to hear that.

Hmm. It appears ur still on 6.6.16-current-meson64 which does not include the fix.

This has already been fixed upstream and backported to 6.6.y LTS. https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240322164525.2617508-1-christianshewitt@gmail.com/ My suggestion is to update the kernel. If you don't wanna update you may just be able to blacklist the driver, which was what I did until it was fixed. It comes down to what is required by Klipper in your case.

I suggest looking over the overlays available; https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/pi-linux/tree/pi-6.1-sunxi/arch/arm64/boot/dts/allwinner/overlay They may or maynot need to be edited as BSP VS MAINLINE usually isn't identical.

Using overlays on the PI whilst on Armbian should be no different than doing so on RaspiOS. https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/computers/config_txt.html#overlay_prefix If you don't know how to use them I suggest you use google or check the foundation docs.

Try disabling it with an overlay. /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target = <&mbus>; __overlay__ { status = "disabled"; }; }; }; If that doesn't work, set the wrong compat string. /dts-v1/; /plugin/; / { fragment@0 { target = <&mbus>; __overlay__ { compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3-mbus"; }; }; }; Use the `armbian-add-overlay` to compile and add the overlay. NOTE: The overlay(s) may not work because of how the current DTS is setup, which is why I suggested blacklisting the driver. The driver in question is: sun8i-a33-mbus https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/a48923b7-12f9-808e-1171-49b826bd5f1c@samsung.com/T/#ma00a3e07248dc7fb2d300b7c9c409f69ffa64c14

Try adding a delay and see if that corrects the DRAM detection. https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/patch/u-boot/v2024.01/board_bananapim4zero/006-sunxi-restore-modified-memory.patch#L149

Kali is in a lot of ways a polished SID with all of their own custom bits added. It can be debootstrap'd just like Debian, Devuan and Ubuntu. I did find some services didn't work on boot; 'ssh avahi bluetooth ntp'. But there could be some option they have I'm not aware of to allow those services to start out of the box. Creating a custom service to start those does the trick though. I would think adding this as an option could be doable, but the question then becomes who wants to handle the support required to maintain it?

Try adding it this way. extraargs=swiotlb=0

Add this to your cmdline. swiotlb=0 https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/commit/3e0065d1cb5bd58e35e0c7722ffe6303dfe0364f
