- rockchip64-6.19: mainline kernel (edge/6.19):
- most stuff works, incl 4G modem, NPU, RS-485, RS-232, HDMI-RX
- except:
- type-c (fusb302, I've no schematics nor will to reverse)
- DisplayPort (I don't have test hardware)
- Analog Audio (ditto)
- keep vendor u-boot for vendor branch
- mainline u-boot v2026.01:
- same DT as edge kernel, save for NPU nodes
- boot order: NVMe -> SATA -> USB -> eMMC -> Ethernet/PXE
- stable MAC addresses for GMAC0/1 via DT aliases (confirm with logging patch)
Purpose of This Repository
The Armbian Linux Build Framework creates customizable OS images based on Debian or Ubuntu for single-board computers (SBCs) and embedded devices.
It builds a complete Linux system including kernel, bootloader, and root filesystem, giving you control over versions, configuration, firmware, device trees, and system optimizations.
The framework supports native, cross, and containerized builds for multiple architectures (x86_64, aarch64, armhf, riscv64) and is suitable for development, testing, production, or automation.
Looking for prebuilt images? Use Armbian Imager — the easiest way to download and flash Armbian to your SD card or USB drive. Available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
