Hello everyone, I’m a complete beginner and have very little programming knowledge. However, I decided to build a MagicMirror as a project. For this, I got a BananaPi M2 Berry and installed what I believe is an Armbian operating system on it. Then I downloaded the corresponding packages for the MagicMirror from GitHub. Everything worked so far—though it was quite challenging—and I even managed to personalize each module. But now I have two problems: I want the MagicMirror to stay in portrait mode permanently. However, after a while (about 30 minutes), the screen automatically switches back to landscape mode and opens a new window of the “Display” application every time. I tried adjusting the “xrandr” code to define the orientation (it keeps portrait mode when starting up at least). In the “Display” application, I selected “Do nothing” under the detection of a new display. I searched through Armbian’s default codes to see if there’s a line or file that forces rotation, but I couldn’t find anything. I reinstalled Armbian without MagicMirror but had the same problem, so I can at least rule out that it’s caused by the MagicMirror package. I would like Armbian or the MagicMirror to switch off (or be off) between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., so the light doesn’t bother me at night. I added this to the code for the various modules in the config/config.js file. I tested different time settings like “23 0 * * *” and “0 23 * * *”. However, the show/hide function didn’t work. The second issue is only of secondary importance, but I’d still appreciate any ideas. The first issue really bothers me, and I hope there’s a genius out there who knows this problem or how to fix it. If someone can only resolve it with direct instructions, I’m also open to exchanging contacts. I’m grateful for any help I can get. Thank you all very much in advance. Best regards, Sasha

Dear Community, I'll build a Developer Team specially for Banana Pi Boards!" GPIO Libarys I started updating/modifing the old GPIO-Libarys, so they can be used on the latest builds! I want to build a Team, for GPIO-Libary Development, for porting these Libarys: WiringPi-Node WiringPi-PHP WiringPi-Perl WirinigPi-Ruby gpiozero rpi-gpio Updating and modifying these: RPi.GPIO BPI-WiringPi2-Python BPI-WiringPi2 At the end, all currently working GPIO Libarys are: luma.oled RPi.GPIO BPI-WiringPi BPI-WiringPi2 BPI-WiringPi2-Python Armbian Build System for Banana Pi I started building the build-system for full banana pi support! Anyone who would like to join the developer-team, just pn me, post in this thread, or contact me on github or discord!" I created a GIthub-Organisation for this project and a Discord Server. A Domain & VPS Server is commin Monday!" Goals: Support ONLY for Banana Pi Boards Board Determiner Script which exports Board-Infos, required by gpio-libs (usual located at: /var/lib/bananapi) APT-Mirror Archive Hosted by our project-teams vps-server! ( Mirror stores all latest gpio-libarys we specially build for using on latest builds and other packages we'll develope in future) Added APPGROUPS: Pentesting, TV-Box, Server-Side, Game Desk & Development Revised menu for selecting extensions and other additional items Revised config menu Adding additional build options A Web-Based Project-Server Hosted Build-System will be build and available on the project-page, where you can build images remotely, according to you settings made in the WebInterface, with live progress & build-log + downloading compressed own image-release. A publish option will be added to, where you can upload your builded image to any Cloud/Storage we provide. Revised device trees According to APPGROUPS and Enabled Extensions: I2C, SPI, UART are enabled in the gpio_develope extension, and all requirements for gpio-programming are pre-installed, the gpio libs are pre-installed too. If you have some Ideas, what we could add or which wishes we can make true, just reply in this post, or contact us. Github Organisation Discord greetz, hexzhen3x7

Hi you all. I'm trying for a couple of day now to solve an annoying problem with the USB and some Bananapi M2 zeros. I have two cluster-hats with 4 Bananapi M2 zeros as nodes. The cluster hat presents itself as a USB gadget (USB ethernet interface) to the nodes allowing networking between the controller and the nodes. The nodes work fine with kernel 5.9.8, the modules identify the hat as a network interface and everything works as expected. My trouble is that I'm creating new images for the nodes (bananapi m2 zero) from here, the nodes boots, but it seems like the OTG port is not behaving as expected. Followed instructions from these posts: https://forum.banana-pi.org/t/bpi-m2-zero-armbian-5-41-3-4-113-debian-jessie-ubuntu-xenial/5485/12 but I still can't make it work I read here that from kernet 5.17 micro-USB host mode is disabled, I'm a bit confused but I understand I need to enable this mode to make it work, or am I getting it wrong? Any help will be appreciated

I am new to this scene and I was just wondering what the difference is between Sid and Kinetic...

hallo, for bananapim2 i can build jammy legacy and current, cli and xfce, on my pc-ubuntu-jammy. I just coppy bananapim2.eos to bananapim2.conf, removed box86 files while my pc-ubuntu-jammy seems have problems with build-script to download addition softaware from some git or ppa. Current-jammy goes off on boot on "starting kernel", but if i build with linux-sunxi-legacy.config renamed to linux-sunxi-current.config, boot is successful. On all builds i cannt becomme LAN over eth0, but wifi is ok. I can see eth0 and wlan on Networkmanager(cli too) and ifconfig. I tryed to disable all broadcom drivers i knew thru blacklisting, but wifi is working. Configuring NetworkManager and network/interfaces and armbian-config made no changes. There is a text file in boot folder on SD named "first_run.template" or something. This file if configured like in description, should make eth0 to be LAN connection if renamed to .txt. But this way not worked. What i can find by googling, it seems that this board can have just one LAN connection: eth or wlan, one should be disabled. Maybe there is any way to configure it thru boot.* or *.Env file? Or maybe there can be two *.dtb files: one for run board with wlan and another for eth? Can someone configure *.dtb file for eth? Best regards.
