What is the default username and password for M5? (meson-sm1-bananapi-m5-devuan-chimaera-5.19.0-arm64-2022-08-03.img.xz)
Thats a good question, as it was a test img I made for someone. My guess would be, bpi:bpi.
Could also try root:toor but to be honest I'm not sure if I enabled that during the build.
If that doesn't work, I can upload another one that has username and passwd options.

Plus I would like to ask you a question or two about the boards behavior, as I don't own one myself.

If there is an Odroid C4 option I would go with that, since it is the exact same SoC. The Odroid C2 is an S905 and the BPI-M5 is a S905X3, so that is probs ur best bet. But that's just me guessing.

And yes, it does not start with eMMC. It will probably be necessary to drag the bootloader from another image ...

So home assistant supervised install is only supported by the HA team on that limited set of hardware platforms. It has to be a debian bullseye install. I believe out the board optoins the odroid N2+ is by far the best platform for running HA. It should be more than fine on a 2G board, but I'd probably get a 4G board. I'd load it on an eMMC module. 16G eMMC is more than enough, but I'd probably go with 32 for future growth. Best place to get an odroid in the US is https://ameridroid.com/products/odroid-n2-plus?variant=32211327287330. I suspect it's possible to make it all run on the banana pi, but I've never looked into the details on why they make you identify the board you're using.

Mainline u-boot. The binaries are different for SD and MMC, so to use eMMC one would need to make an img specific for it or... you can try and use the script I made. Run sudo write2mmc and see if it works. Like I said I don't have the board, but I added the support just in case someone was willing to try.
Question. Does the board reboot? If you do a sudo reboot does it work?

And the sudo write2mmc command will transfer only system files or all files to eMMC. That is, if I set up Home Assistence on microSD and then I can transfer everything to eMMC?
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Its suppose to detect, partition, mount and then transfer everything from the SD. It will then setup boot and then let you know its done. I would normally suggest someone do this before installing something like HA.

In general, everything worked out.
First I wrote the image to microSD
Inserted into BananaPi M5 and launched.
Login via SSH
bpi:bpi
After that I entered the command sudo write2mmc
Waited for completion (a few minutes - did not notice)
Then turned off. Removed MicroSD (all media)
Launched. How loaded. Login again via SSH
Adjusted the time zone and everything else.
Then
sudo su-
menu-config
Software -> Home Assistant
Ok and Yes
Then wait a few minutes for it to install.
At the end it asks to press ENTER.
Exit menu-config
Everything - Home Assistant installed
It will say that you need to restart.
Reboot with
sudo reboot
After the reboot, you need to wait 20 minutes until all the settings go through.

That's all. Thank you very much. I have tried many ways. But this one is the easiest and fastest.
When you did the HA install from menu-config which hardware board did you pick from the list provided by the HA installer? At this point if you tried again it would fail because menu-config is now restricting to only the boards HA indicate things should work on.

Bureal I assume you found this distro based on one of the post I made on the Home Assistant forum.

That's interesting on the cost. Here in the US I can pick up 4G Odroid N2+ for $95 and banana pi M5 for $92. I can get an M5 out of China for $64. Nothing near the 3X price difference you get. Anyway it's good to hear the image was useful to you.

So buying odroid N2+ though china is the reason for the cost difference. The board sells for $83 + shipping straight from South Korea. Your Banan PI cost is similar in cost to our prices. Thanks for the info.

That was added by @0n3man and it looks like the scripting doesn't take into account that you are running
chimaeraand notbullseye.looks wrong:
Also, doesn't HA require systemd?
You can open an issue concerning this at the hub or use Debian.
