• To answer this question, it is essential to know if BL & WIFI work on Armbian, to be able for instance to pair a keyboard and mouse.

Issue with the Banana Pi M2 Zero: it runs Armbian, LibreOffice, Chromium & Raspberry Pi OS & is available in Switzerland, but does BL & WIFI work on Armbian?

• Does touch work on Armbian? We know hardly of devices who support touch on Armbian.
• A rare exeption is the example of Igors Korolevs showing an Orangepi Zero with touch support:

• Can this also be implemented in the Banana Pi M2 Zero?
• Is it worth the extra money for the Raspberry Pi zero 2 W only because of touch support which the device, but not the Banana Pi M2 Zero, and can this issue be resolved?
• Is there an Armbian OS image available for download?
• If there are problems with WIFI and Bluetooth on the Banana Pi M2 Zero this approach might help with a etherned & usb shield:

It is also very important that the example that someone shows that the shown Armbian example on the Banana Pi M2 Zero can be reproduced by a second reviewer. And it is highly desirable that a YouTube review maker makes a review about these open questions.

• The video is from BananaPi-Chen is Germany.
• Does BananaPi-Chen work for BananaPi which is a Chinese company?
