Octo on Banana Pi

[K3nn3th]

Hey Folks,

does anyone have a possibility to test the octo with a banana pi (m3) ?
I'm curious if it would work. Coupling the octo with more processing power would offer a larger variety of applications..

any ideas?

thanks

I am keen to look into that.
Can you please point me to the GPIO header information for the Banana Pi ?
Can you please also point me to the Linux kernel source used for the Banana Pi ?

thanks

Thanks for your reply!

i have found a GPIO header mapping:


and here



is this helpful?

as for the sources, for the BPI M3 i found this:

Thanks again !

OK - unfortunately the headers for I2S don't match !
You can solve that by mapping I2S pins appropriately on a PCB, which I could help you do.

Can you find a KiCad Banana Pi GPIO project ? If not I would have to start from scratch

For comparison, here are the GPIO pins for the Pi : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4

Next step w.r.t. software ...
If this is the BP ALSA driver :
https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-M3- ... /soc/sunxi

Then it is possible we can make this work ... hmmm ...
What we really need are machine driver examples for the Banana Pi ... is there a Banana pi email list or somewhere you can ask where the BP ALSA machine drivers are ?

thanks
