Yep, already did that, my installer script loads those modules automatically. The problem is that there is a lack of w1-gpio overlays. The one on the M2 Zero is nonfunctional, and there isn't even one on my M4 Berry, nor is there one for my Orange Pi 3B. It appears that when they create these community generated Armbian distributions for the various SBCs, they're totally dropping the ball on the w1-gpio overlay.
I've gotten around the problem by writing a C program that talks directly to the DS18B20 temperature sensors on any GPIO pin. No more need to rely on the /sys/bus/w1/ directory.
Damn shame that they've dropped the ball on including the necessary overlay for those kernel modules to actually do something.
