It features 2GB of RAM and 8GB eMMC. It also +has onboard WiFi and BT. On the ports side, the BPI-M2 Ultra has 2 USB A +2.0 ports, 1 USB OTG port, 1 HDMI port, 1 audio jack, a DC power port, +and last but not least, a SATA port. + +Supported devices +""""""""""""""""" + +The Banana Pi M2U machine supports the following devices: + + * SMP (Quad Core Cortex-A7) + * Generic Interrupt Controller configuration + * SRAM mappings + * SDRAM controller + * Timer device (re-used from Allwinner A10) + * UART + * SD/MMC storage controller + * EMAC ethernet + * GMAC ethernet + * Clock Control Unit + * TWI (I2C) + +Limitations +""""""""""" + +Currently, Banana Pi M2U does *not* support the following features: + +- Graphical output via HDMI, GPU and/or the Display Engine +- Audio output +- Hardware Watchdog +- Real Time Clock +- USB 2.0 interfaces + +Also see the 'unimplemented' array in the Allwinner R40 SoC module +for a complete list of unimplemented I/O devices: ``./hw/arm/allwinner-r40.c`` + +Boot options +"""""""""""" + +The Banana Pi M2U machine can start using the standard -kernel functionality +for loading a Linux kernel or ELF executable. Additionally, the Banana Pi M2U +machine can also emulate the BootROM which is present on an actual Allwinner R40 +based SoC, which loads the bootloader from a SD card, specified via the -sd +argument to qemu-system-arm. + +Running mainline Linux +"""""""""""""""""""""" + +To build a Linux mainline kernel that can be booted by the Banana Pi M2U machine, +simply configure the kernel using the sunxi_defconfig configuration: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make mrproper + $ ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- make sunxi_defconfig + +To boot the newly build linux kernel in QEMU with the Banana Pi M2U machine, use: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ qemu-system-arm -M bpim2u -nographic \ + -kernel /path/to/linux/arch/arm/boot/zImage \ + -append 'console=ttyS0,115200' \ + -dtb /path/to/linux/arch/arm/boot/dts/sun8i-r40-bananapi-m2-ultra.dtb + +Banana Pi M2U images +"""""""""""""""""""" + +Note that the mainline kernel does not have a root filesystem. You can choose +to build you own image with buildroot using the bananapi_m2_ultra_defconfig. +Also see https://buildroot.org for more information. + +Another possibility is to run an OpenWrt image for Banana Pi M2U which +can be downloaded from: + + https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.3/targets/sunxi/cortexa7/ + +When using an image as an SD card, it must be resized to a power of two. This can be +done with the ``qemu-img`` command. It is recommended to only increase the image size +instead of shrinking it to a power of two, to avoid loss of data. For example, +to prepare a downloaded Armbian image, first extract it and then increase +its size to one gigabyte as follows: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ qemu-img resize \ + openwrt-22.03.3-sunxi-cortexa7-sinovoip_bananapi-m2-ultra-ext4-sdcard.img \ + 1G + +Instead of providing a custom Linux kernel via the -kernel command you may also +choose to let the Banana Pi M2U machine load the bootloader from SD card, just like +a real board would do using the BootROM. Simply pass the selected image via the -sd +argument and remove the -kernel, -append, -dbt and -initrd arguments: + +.. code-block:: bash + + $ qemu-system-arm -M bpim2u -nic user -nographic \ + -sd openwrt-22.03.3-sunxi-cortexa7-sinovoip_bananapi-m2-ultra-ext4-sdcard.img + +Running U-Boot +"""""""""""""" + +U-Boot mainline can be build and configured using the Bananapi_M2_Ultra_defconfig +using similar commands as describe above for Linux.
