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, I'm working with an armbian installed on a Banana Pi M2S and I'm having problems using GPIOX_12, GPIOX_13 and GPIOX_4, because the Wifi/Bluetooth drivers are introducing garbage data by default into them and making it difficult to use them for communication in my project. I need to know how to disable these drivers from the kernel so that they don't interfere with the UART communication that I'm creating on those pins, since they are enabled by default and take control of the port automatically (even without having any module connected). Question: Is there any way to disable them in the kernel during the image building process? For the moment I won't use those drivers since I'll be installing a Wifi module via USB later. I'm building the armbian image from the repository using these build variables: ./compile.sh build BOARD=bananapim2s BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=jammy EXTENSIONS=preset-firstrun Any help or pointers would be very appreciated. Thank you very much in advance!

Hello everyone, I'm currently working on a bananaPi M2S and trying to set up serial communication through the GPIO port on my device. I am using the provided overlay for UART-A. The overlay seems to work as it registers the serial device, as indicated by the dmesg output: bash [ 0.000277] printk: console [tty1] enabled [ 0.734433] ff803000.serial: ttyAML0 at MMIO 0xff803000 (irq = 14, base_baud = 1500000) is a meson_uart [ 0.734458] printk: console [ttyAML0] enabled [ 0.735241] ffd24000.serial: ttyAML6 at MMIO 0xffd24000 (irq = 15, base_baud = 1500000) is a meson_uart [ 0.735395] serial serial0: tty port ttyAML6 registered [ 2.663304] systemd[1]: Created slice Slice /system/serial-getty. [ 3.140660] systemd[1]: Found device /dev/ttyAML0. However, the device /dev/ttyAML6 does not appear in the /dev folder. Here are the steps I've taken so far: Loaded the UART-A overlay. Verified registration through dmesg logs, which show that ttyAML6 is indeed registered. What I've checked: I ran ls /dev/ttyAML* and /dev/tty* but didn't find ttyAML6. Questions: Is there a known issue with this overlay or an additional step I'm missing to make the device node appear in /dev? Are there specific udev rules I need to add or modify to automatically create the device node? Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Good day! I have a Banana pi m2s with Amlogic A311D, 4GB RAM and 16GB emmc. Official images from Banana pi work on this device (both emmc and SD card). The problem is when I try to install Armbian on SD card - using BalenaEtcher on Windows / Disk tool on Ubuntu Mate: - the m2s either doesn't boot (when Armbian is written on emmc memory) - or m2s boots from emmc storage (when Armbian is written on SD Card) SD card has boot priority over emmc and works fine with official .img from bananapi. I see all written files on SD card after using Balena Etcher. The difference from official images is that boot folder in official images is seperate FAT32 partition. And in Armbian there is no seperate boot partition. But as I understood from reading forums, that shouldn't be a problem. Strange that is doesn't want to boot Armbian (no information on screen and blue led is not blinking). I tried different images from older ones to newer, with and without desktop... No result. Also tried changing armbianEnv.txt in part of .dtb to use. For example .dtb of odroid n2l, that generally may work (tested in official banana pi images) - but still Armbian doesn't start. Please help. Thank you!

The USB-C port and lsusb results suggest to me that this board should support USB 3 under Armbian, but I have no earthly idea how I would succeed at this. My first, naive attempt used the PinePhone docking bar. This looked like it might work as it passed power through to the M2S, and it also powered the WD Passport HDD I used to test, but no devices appeared. Is there a better fit? Perhaps the PinePhone device only works with Pine devices? This would be better posted on the official Banana Pi forum, but I'm apparently IP banned despite having never posted there. This is an Armbian system, so I reckon it's not too off-topic to ask here.

On the page https://www.armbian.com/bananapi-m2s/ I tried to download the Bookworm XFCE build at the link https://redirect.armbian.com/region/NA/bananapim2s/Bookworm_current_xfce but that link gives a 404 error. EU mirror worked. Where should I report this?

Hi, This is my first try to add a board to armbian build system. I got a BPI M2S since several months, but only had time recently to investigate on this promising SBC. I made a PR here, if somebody wants to try it: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4597 The main improvements are to be done for the dts file, since I'm not an expert about such file definition. Only 1 ethernet of the Gbit ports is working, since I copy the config from vim3 that share the same hardware for it. I didn't try to customize u-boot and I use the one for radxa zero2 that works to launch armbian on the board. armbianmonitor -u is here: https://paste.armbian.com/piyuqajeye
