jeanrhum Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_uk Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 As it shares the A113D do you think it would work with the BPI-CM4 too? https://wiki.banana-pi.org/BPI-CM4_Computer_module_and_development_Kit 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanrhum Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Hi, I don't have this board, but since it is from the same manufacturer, we can hope that the 2 boards share similar elements. For instance, the GbE ship is the same (RTL8211F), the same amount of emmc and ram. If you have the base board and an sd card, you can try to boot it. If you don't want to build an image by yourself, you can start by trying the Radxa zero2 image that was able to start my M2S board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_uk Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 They are not available beyond developer preview yet. I'll try once they are available 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longsd Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I found bananapi cm4 and m2s armbian build github supported by its official maintenancer, https://github.com/Dangku/armbian-build/.

Good find! They fork armbian and add the board differently. I'll look at this to check how to take the good part from it. My main issue is about the second ethernet port (RTL8111H), for which I don't see how to make it work. I tried several device modifications but without any success. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longsd Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I have built the BananaPI CM4 Image. It's ok to boot, but audio failed due to some DTS problems. This may be one point that Bananapi official Image not fully released for now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second ethernet port was working, so I'm studying the device tree to check what is missing in mine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
