"ws2811_init failed: Hardware revision is not supported" on Banana Pi BPI-M2 ZERO

[FerrariAndrea]

Hi! I destroy my Raspberry Pi Zero, so I buy a Banana Pi BPI-M2 ZERO and try to run my old Node.js code that was on the Raspberry.

I'm using the npm: rpi-ws2811x^1.0.36 and I receive the error: Error: configure(): ws2811_init() failed: Hardware revision is not supported

So I download this repository and follow the instructions, after some build problems, I finally run the "test" file and I received the same error: sudo ./test ws2811_init failed: Hardware revision is not supported

How I can resolve that error? there is some step that I need to do in order to configure the gipos before running the scripts? There is a way to have more information about that error?

Thx :)

Unfortunately, as listed in the wiki, only the Raspberry Pi is supported. The Banana Pi doesn't have the same chip hardware blocks to support this feature.

Hi guys, I'm trying to add this Banana Pi to the configurations, but I'm missing something. I add the model here: https://github.com/FerrariAndrea/rpi_ws281x/commit/117d3d73584d8340866c706c93714da8ef5e96fc and now it is working, but I received a new error:

sudo ./test -s grb
Can't open device file
: No such device or address
ws2811_init failed: Failed to create mailbox device

I research about that and I discover that in this Banana PI there is only the PWM1 at pin 7, but I can't use it:

sudo ./test -s grb -g 7
Gpio 7 is illegal for LED channel 0
ws2811_init failed: Selected GPIO not possible

This is because (I think) in the code there are many hard-coded checks that don't allow the use of it. I'm trying to remove all these checks in order to test it, but still receive "illegal" error for now.

Edit: I see your answer right now, ok so if this is not compatible at all I will not try anymore. Thx
