I hope your week is going great. ... my Banana Pi 2M Ultra will not boot (working on getting a refund or a replacement). As an aside -- If you have good place to get one let me know I do have the rock64, a raspberry pi3 b+ and pi4 b (4G) If it would be of value I could turn to one of those. Let me know if there is anything specific. I have the C8 CentOS-8-aarch64-1905-dvd1.iso downloaded and will work on moving that to the rock64. Else I will hold until I have the bpi, ok?
