# BananaPi M5 / M2S

## Enabling WiFi and Bluetooth

BananaPi M5 and M2S have an optional WiFi mezzanine board with an RTL8822CS chip providing 802.11 b/g/n/ac on 2.4GHz/5GHz channels and Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity. The board is not active unless enabled through a device tree modification.

On BPI-M5 create `/storage/.config/autostart.sh` with the following content:

```shell
mount -o remount,rw /flash
fdtput -t s /flash/meson-sm1-bananapi-m5.dtb /soc/sd@ffe03000 status okay
fdtput -t s /flash/meson-sm1-bananapi-m5.dtb /soc/bus@ffd00000/serial@24000 status okay
mount -o remount,ro /flash
```

On BPI-M2S create `/storage/.config/autostart.sh` with the following content:

```sh
mount -o remount,rw /flash
fdtput -t s /flash/meson-sm1-bananapi-m2s.dtb /soc/sd@ffe03000 status okay
fdtput -t s /flash/meson-sm1-bananapi-m2s.dtb /soc/bus@ffd00000/serial@24000 status okay
mount -o remount,ro /flash
```

After rebooting the board, the WiFi and BT devices should be detected:

```bash
