I don't own banana pi but I'm thinking of buying it for the project we're going to do. I have raspberry pi zero but mediapipe is not working. I'm thinking of doing image manipulation and this is the most important library in my code. That's why I'm trying to do a detailed research because my budget is limited. Thank you for your help 💯

About 6 months ago I started a music project with the Raspberry PI Zero 2W. The project is a module to generate weird and wonderful drone music/sounds (example here) Because of the fact that it's nearly impossible to got hold of the Raspberry PI Zero 2W, I want to "port" the project to an alternative and available board with the same footprint and pinout; the BPI M2 Zero would be perfect. I have quite a challenge though; See image: The exact setup below with an Raspberry PI Zero 2W (O/S: Bullseye 11) and the install procedure described here, runs absolutely fine --- but now I want this setup to run on the BPI M2 Zero (O/S: "Armbian_20.05.1_Bananapim2zero_buster_current_5.4.43_desktop" downloaded from here) I appreciate that the BPI M2 Zero has a different architecture - but I guess with the lack of support (compared to the Raspberry PI) I can't figure out how to get this setup running. Has anyone got experience getting the two boards "talking" ? I need the setup to be the same as I already have the PCBs produced you see. I haven't seen a Armbian version of Bullseye 11 ... but I don't think it's absolutely necessary to have the same O/S. I guess what matters is that the Audio's board install-script (curl https://get.pimoroni.com/phatdac | bash) is re-worked to run on the BPI M2 Zero. I am willing to offer a financial incentive for your time (ping me).

Hi, I try to connect a tft 240x240 display via SPI with my BPI m2zero and i am looking for a suitable library written in C. The display uses ST7789 driver and it will be used in combination with thermal camera. I've tried to use producers library for RPi https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/1.54inch_LCD_Module but the screen only blinks when i run a program with test bitmap. I tested it on Arduino and the display works fine. If someone was able to run such a display, can you share your library? Thanks for all the help

Hi, I am stuck integrating IR in my board banana pi m2 zero. Can anyone guide me to setup IR?

Hi, so without knowing what the swappiness actually is I changed the value from 100 to 512. Since then, I can't boot my Banana Pi M2 Zero. Shortly after that, I remembered again: swappiness is the percentage of how often to use swap and not the maximum amount of storage. Can I repair it inside uboot? Can I plug the sd card into my PC and edit the files there? Here is the log from the serial console. It's stuck forever after the last line. ..............................................................

I got myself a Banana Pi M2 Zero (with H3 chip) and am running Armbian (Armbian_21.08.1_Bananapim2zero_buster_current_5.10.60) on it. I have enabled SPI by adding the spi-spidev dt overlay. Now I want to use both CS pins at the same time so that I can connect two devices. The spi-add-cs1 overlay doesn't change anything so I researched a bit and found this custom overlay. Unfortunately it didn't work too and there is still only a single spidev available. Is there any way to enable both of them at the same time?
