According to a user who reached out to me this board is notorious for it.

It turns out the Banana pi was overheating. My advice is make sure you use a solid power supply in the second USB C port as it seems to struggle just through the USB OTG one. That said… there are better alternatives ( Try out the orange pi zero) because this specific board is no longer supported by Armbian and It kept resetting during the klipper and moonraker builds… Anyway read on if you already have one and want to just try it / documented for science hah.

The later point there being very important because right now the CPU family used in the Raspberry Pi product lines is near impossible to source. The Banana Pi M2 isn’t a direct clone of the Pi Zero as it uses a different form factor and CPU. The Banana Pi Zero M2 is one of many open source single board computers (SBC) that have sprouted up over the last few years due to Raspberry Pi popularity and in more recent time shortages.
