@m1zfs I am willing to test as i have an m1 odroid with 4GB ram. What do i need to do ? I tried your dkms package installed it and rebooted but system never turned up after reboot.

It seems that the problem with the computer not booting on first boot returned with kernel 6.18.x. I have to restart the computer twice (power cycle) to get it to boot. The computer always started on first boot on Armbian 26.x with kernel 6.12.x, but after updating ArmBin when the 6.18.x kernels were released, the problem returned: OZPI v1 doesn't always start on the first try, and I have to turn it off and on again. Of course, when there's a kernel update, I run amrmbian-install, but that doesn't solve the recurring problem.

This week in Armbian development saw a significant expansion of hardware support, including new board images and compatibility for devices such as the Ariaboard Photonicat 2, SpacemiT MUSE Book, NanoPC T6 Plus, and Mekotronics R58S2. Kernel patches were updated across multiple platforms, notably for Rockchip and Sunxi families, enhancing stability and performance. Several new modules were introduced in the configuration framework, including browser-based code-server, memory management, Docker log viewing, and subscription tracking. Improvements to documentation, security hardening, and code formatting were also implemented. Notable fixes addressed USB, Ethernet, and device-specific issues, while ZFS functionality and tuning interfaces received updates. The release continues Armbian’s commitment to broad hardware support and robust system features. Changesaction: fix typos, update defaults, and harden GPG signing. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9613Add Ariaboard Photonicat 2 support for rockchip64-6.18. by @HackingGate in armbian/build#9535Add container_type field to Uptime Kuma config. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#776Add image and reusable slug for Qidi X-4. by @Shadowrom2020 in armbian/armbian.github.io#262Add Laptop SpacemiT MUSE Book. by @pyavitz in armbian/build#9591Add line breaks to improve .md rendering. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#784Add NanoPC T6 plus image. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#266Add radxa-dragon-q6a to nightly release blacklist. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#260add recomputer rk3588-devkit support. by @ackPeng in armbian/linux-rockchip#460add rockchip patch for fusb302 to support aw3561. by @ackPeng in armbian/linux-rockchip#456add rockchip zbit mtd spi flash support. by @ackPeng in armbian/linux-rockchip#464Add rtl8710bufw_SMIC.bin for RTL8188GU WiFi USB. by @Shadowrom2020 in armbian/firmware#121add support for imx708 raspberry pi v3 camera. by @ackPeng in armbian/linux-rockchip#457Add trixie and noble to nightly manual targets. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#263Add xfce desktop for riscv64 legacy branch in stable builds. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#264aic8800-dkms extension. by @Shadowrom2020 in armbian/build#9578arm64: dts: rockchip: add Mekotronics R58S2. by @HeyMeco in armbian/linux-rockchip#461armbian-kernel: improve code documentation and formatting. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/build#9559Board image: Add Mekotronics R58S2. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/armbian.github.io#265Board: Add Mekotronics R58S2. by @HeyMeco in armbian/build#9610Bump geekyeggo/delete-artifact from 5 to 6. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/os#443docs: expand GitHub Actions section with examples and inputs reference. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/documentation#900docs: reorganize ZFS documentation with proper tab formatting. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#779docs: simplify code-server documentation footer. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#792Dozzle: Proper image. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#775families: sm8550: Limit kernel version to 6.18.18. by @kasimling in armbian/build#9604feat: add code-server module for browser-based VS Code. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#790feat: add comprehensive memory management module. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#781feat: add Dozzle Docker log viewer module. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#773feat: add Wallos subscription tracker module. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#785feat: ZFS pool import and scan functionality. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#782Fix Docker image configuration for GitHub Actions. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/docker-armbian-build#12fix: force destroy VMs when graceful shutdown fails. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#793fix: improve kvmtest module security, UI, and add channel selection. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#789fix: resolve mixed indentation in prometheus heredoc. by @igorpecovnik in armbian/configng#794framework artifact-rootfs -

I have tested the following PR: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/14690 It needs compilation of a custom ffmpeg (linked in PR) + mpv (with this PR). My findings are reported here: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/pull/14690#issuecomment-4159253319 Overall it is working, haven't tested Kodi yet.

@Efe Çetin I am using Orange Pi 5b, and I am not able to use the USB Type-C port or the USB 2.0 on Armbian edge kernel 6.19. The 2 USB 3.0 ports do work properly. Below is the relevant usb related output from dmesg. Any idea on if this is an issue specific to Orangepi 5b? From the dtsi it seems 5 and 5b largely share the common code related to type-c. I am looking forward to being able to use my Type-C hub on this board and in the future have display out.
