Adding / Modifying Boards - What is the right approach?
You can set conditions on which branch uses which uboot. Like this: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/9aa6e1e29ec2d397bbe223bebaa93bd13ef79818/config/boards/orangepi5-max.csc#L21 If the BRANCH is edge, then use mainline uboot, specifically this tag. -

Adding / Modifying Boards - What is the right approach?
I am working on a new version of the Luckfox Core3566 Board and Patches, as well as adding the Orange PI CM4 board to Armbian. Both rely on the Rockchip RK3566. Luckfox Core3566 Starting with the Core3566: The current board is just the vendor u-boot and kernel. It lacks PCIe support, but surely it is helpful to be as near to manufacturer configuration in their patches. My board config on the other side is not supporting the vendor specific patches, but based on a clean u-boot v2025.10 and runs nicely with current and edge kernels and also runs smoothly with nvme storage. The luckfox-core3566 config is currently maintainerless, but maybe users would like to have this vendor kernel version. My question: 1) Would the Armbian rather like to replace the vendor board config with a more future proof board config like mine or 2) Keep both board versions ( like rename config/boards/luckfox-core3566.csc to config/boards/luckfox-core3566_vendor.csc ) and let my variant replace the config/boards/luckfox-core3566.csc as default? 3)rd option would be combine both configs, but I had struggle to do so, as my version is using a different u-boot, using a simplified partition setup etc. Orange Pi cm4 I created a new board configuration to let Orange PI CM4 to work with Armbian as well. It is pretty similar to the bigtreetech cb2, but it's ethernet wiring and pcie powering device config differs from latter. Is it okay to create a MR directly in Github or does it need alignment with Moderators first? Cheers, Daniel PS: Nice to have time to work on embedded arm systems again. I did work on the sunxi based cubieboard and cubietruck back in the days, but job, family and basically life pulled me away from it for such a long time. -

Orange Pi RV2
🦀 Rust PiCalculator on Orange Pi RV2 (riscv64, Armbian Trixie) Compiled and ran a high-precision Pi calculator in Rust on my Orange Pi RV2 (K1X, 8-core @ 1.6 GHz) running Armbian-unofficial Trixie riscv64. The goal: test rustc performance and validate big-integer workloads on RISC-V. ✅ Environment OS: Armbian-unofficial 26.02.0-trunk (Debian Trixie) Kernel: Linux 6.18.5-edge-spacemit Rust: rustc 1.85.0, cargo 1.85.0 (built from source) Display: EZCAP28X @ 1920×1080 Memory: 3.7 GiB RAM, 1.3 GiB used Disk: ext4, 28.96 GiB total GPU: Mesa llvmpipe (LLVM 19.1.7) 🧮 Project: PiCalculator Rust implementation using rug (GMP-backed) to compute 1000 digits of π: rust use rug::{float::Constant, Float}; fn main() { let digits: usize = 1000; let bits: u32 = ((digits as f64) * 3.321928).ceil() as u32 + 10; let pi = Float::with_val(bits, Constant::Pi); let s = pi.to_string_radix(10, Some(digits)); println!("{s}"); } 🧩 Build Notes Needed libgmp-dev and m4 to compile rug cleanly. cargo build --release succeeded without patching. Output verified against known π digits. ⚖️ Performance Comparison Board CPU Time (ms) Real Time (ms) Pi 400 Faster (1.8 GHz, fewer cores) Lower latency RV2 (K1X) Slower per-core, but stable Good throughput Despite having 8 cores, the RV2’s in-order K1X is slower than the Pi 400’s Cortex-A72 for single-threaded math. Still, the build was smooth and the output correct — a great stress test for rustc on riscv64.1 -

Running Armbian on an Oscal Pad 70 WiFi
Good afternoon. I have a Rockchip 3566 tablet.oscal pad 70 wifi Is it possible to install Armbian on it? I don't have a device tree (I couldn't find anything at all for the WiFi module except the test report), no drivers, nothing. I've found a related one (the letters at the end are slightly different), but there's a little information. The original Pineta B2 costs 159, plus shipping and taxes...that's 300. But the aforementioned one costs 100 and doesn't require taxes! That's what got me thinking. Prices are in dollars. The bootloader can apparently be unlocked with a simple command (according to Google Assistant!) I need the tablet for learning Linux and watching videos in the browser...will it handle it? Is this even possible for a beginner? Best regards and gratitude... I'm writing using Google Translate, so there may be some inaccuracies... I apologize for that! motherboard R863T-RK3566-DK-V1.0 wifi module wxt42j1001s I don't know what kind of touchscreen and display it has. Will I need to unlock the bootloader? I understand it's probably very difficult...isn't the processor too old for our times? Or is installing Armbian probably not an option, and shouldn't I waste my time on it and buy something else? Thanks from the bottom of my heart to everyone who responded.- Radxa Zero 3W/E
