Ethernet Adapter for Banana PI M2 Zero

The Banana PI M2 Zero has an integrated ethernet adapter, however the connector is missing. I created a small adapter PCB which you can solder onto the Banana PI.

By using an 'extra tall header' the M2 Zero still fits on a LISY PCB.

In most images the ethernet adapter is disabled by default. With armbian you can use my user overlay to activate it ( m2-zero-eth0.dts ) or use one of my images which have it activated by default.

activate eth0 with armbian configfile 'overlay-user'

copy m2-zero-eth0.dtbo from my repository to directory /boot/overlay-user

edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt and add line "user_overlays=m2-zero-eth0" to it

reboot

enjoy

You need pin headers in 2mm pitch and this Ethernet connector.
