not specifically dealing with your topic but perhaps informative anyway:

sharing is caring

CNK:
I've been planning to do this for a couple of years now. Unfortunately I'm not sure whether it might be a couple more years 'till I get to it. I've been planning to follow this guide when the time comes.

Note that SoCs vary a lot between different Banana Pi models. The M2 Zero uses the Allwinner H2+ which is a variant of the Allwinner H3. The architecture is ARMv7-A.

There are links to patched kernel sources on the Banana Pi wiki, up to v. 5.3.5. I haven't looked into the Armbian project myself.

We just need to donate some boards to bMarkus and give him a week's deadline to bootstrap piCore from Armbian. :)

That guide he wrote is pretty awesome:

I liked Armbian back when I was involved.  The closest though that I could get to a consistent interface with piCore and Armbian from a user standpoint was to use BusyBox as my shell and cli environment by putting busybox as the first thing in my path on the LePotato arm board.

Then I got entangled with small x86/x86_64 mini-pc's and TinyCorePure64 proper...

Oh yeah - like always, start Armbian with "root" and "1234" as the defaults:

Back in the day, Armbian, rather than the RPI project got me educated real fast on what micro-sd cards were *really* all about and what to look for and how to take care of them.

vinceASPECT:
Hello Forum,

it is great that Armbian is supporting nearly all the Pi boards now.

Thx

bmarkus:
Doesn't support older armv6 boards :(
