Description

BananaPi M2 Berry shares much of the M2 Ultra which is already supported. But for HDMI output, it needs a different device tree in armbianEnv.txt.

How Has This Been Tested?

Added entry manually to /boot/armbianEnv.txt and successfully verified the correct output to the HDMI port.

The new board configuration may use incorrect boot settings for Banana Pi M2 Berry, potentially affecting device-tree selection or storage behavior. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to switch to the Berry-specific U-Boot defconfig.

🚫 Missing required board assets

This PR adds new board configuration(s). Required assets must already exist in github/armbian/armbian.github.io.
They are required by Armbian Imager to ensure all boards are displayed with proper images.

  • Board images: board-images/<board>.png (1920x1080 px transparent)
  • Vendor logos: board-vendor-logos/<vendor>-logo.png (512x512 px transparent)

Missing items

  • Board image missing for bananapim2berry
    • Expected: board-images/bananapim2berry.png
    • Fix: add the file to armbian/armbian.github.io (folder board-images/)

Once the missing files are added (or a PR is opened in armbian/armbian.github.io), re-run this check.

Use the Banana Pi M2 Berry U-Boot defconfig.

U-Boot v2026.07 provides bananapi_m2_berry_defconfig. The Ultra defconfig selects the Ultra device tree and enables CONFIG_MMC_SUNXI_SLOT_EXTRA=2.
