Hi, Whom may concern.

I am new learner and try to build my Banana Pi M1 in an up-to-date operation system.
It is using Armbian 20.08.3 with kernel 5.8.11-sunxi in my system now.

I have followed the instruction slowly building up, but it might be a stupid question as following.
How can I know the Mali driver is really made and boot up with the loaded in kernel module?
I have many failures to recompile kernel core to mali driver and made many time of os reinstallation.
I only know the first default in system, and lsmod cannot find out any description about mali driver.
Kernel headers is empty about mali.ko file, Icannot use modprobe or insmod to call it.

It can go steps until point 5 : https://linux-sunxi.org/Mali_binary_driver#Verifying_the_EGL.2FGLES_driver_stack
And it can go # install mali driver (http://wiki.lemaker.org/BananaPro/Pi:GPU)
Should I do any thing to make it up?
This is because I have used another helper project of personal image in SD card (https://github.com/bernhard263/Bananapi-Retropie/wiki).
I can look at mali driver and fbturbo driver in lsmod list, but my new installed os cannot have same list.

It is afraid something wrong or missing processes.
Would someone please advise me how to run correct steps in next?
It will help a lot for newer experiences and knowledges.

Thanks a lit.
