Video : Review of the Banana Pi M5 with Armbian
 
Hello all.
I made a review video about the Banana Pi M5.
This comes with the Amlogic S905X3 SoC. A nice board, might be a good RPi4 alternative.

Here is the video.

There is also a give away for the BPi M5 and M2Pro at Armbian.

Here all my gathered information.

Transfer rates
--------------
SD read      SD write  eMMC read    eMMC write    access time    USB3 read        USB3 write        access time
23.9 MB/s    16 MB/s    174 MB/s      32.6 MB/s      0.17 msec      375.4 MB/s      342.4 MB/s        0.18 msec



5.10 images do not boot
5.19 images have a problem with reboot. When sd-card is inserted with an image and also an image on eMMC is present, it will reboot into eMMC instead of SD.
                "so uboot can't read MMC/SD if it's set to "fast". from cold boot, MMC is set to "slow", then Kernel sets it to "fast". So when warm-boot, when uboot runs it's set to "fast" due to kernel and everything fails"
5.19 Jammy and Sid images perform very bad with tuxkart while bullseye performs good / Maybe driver issue, panfrost not working while noted to be working in glxinfo -B
