[News from Armbian] - Github Highlights
This week saw significant development activity across the Armbian ecosystem, with numerous enhancements to desktop environment support, including the addition of KDE Neon, KDE Plasma, MATE, and i3-wm, as well as improved branding and menu documentation. The desktop module was refactored for greater modularity and YAML-driven configuration, alongside fixes for theming and package removal tracking. Hardware support expanded with new device trees for NanoPC-T6 LTS Plus and Gateway DK, plus initial support for Arduino UNO Q (Qualcomm QRB2210) and additional USB Ethernet drivers. The build system received updates for kernel versions and distribution releases, notably bumping Ubuntu from plucky/noble to resolute. Automation and audit scripts were improved for reliability and scope, and documentation was updated to reflect the new tier model and branding. Overall, these changes strengthen Armbian's usability, hardware compatibility, and developer tooling.

USB 2 port not available
I encountered the same issue. When I used the Orange Pi 3B image based on the 6.18 kernel, USB was not available, but when using the 6.1 vendor image, USB worked. -

Repurpose a TV Box Allwinner H313 (similar to H96 Max) to boot secure image
@Sergioclr Search the forums for "PL2303HXA". I think it will work. After you compile your build, check build/cache/sources/u-boot-worktree/u-boot*; you should find root_key.pem there
