In the past I advised people to download Knoppix and boot the PC with that so you have full control.
We provide some very tiny builds that can be run as live system on x86 desktop PC:

install renegade firmware on a Rasperry Pi
This is confusing for me. What are you actually trying to achieve? What is on Renegade that is not on Rpi? -

We are slowly releasing v25.11 images and here I did some mess-up, fixed now. We don't offer Bookworm anymore, so Trixie it is. If you need to Bookworm for some reason, you can build on your own or use the one from archive: http://archive.armbian.com/

Can I get support for Cinnamon on Armbian distros???
Armbian provides vanilla Debian (or Ubuntu) Cinnamon. In general, touch to the user-space part is minimal, so you are running plain Debian Cinnamon desktop, more or less. And as packages comes from there, bugs follow. Armbian team don't have resources for dealing with desktop. Minor problems only.And as it was already mentioned

Exactly. I saw this (recently introduced) problem but since I have absolutely no idea where to look, I removed Cinnamon images from upcoming release. We don't touch Cinnamon nor other desktops beyond installing wallpaper.
Probably tasksel installed variant will likely be broken too.

Does it vary between 6.1/6.12 and the desktop/server builds?
Yes. It is only enabled / working with 6.1 and desktop (Gnome) builds. For mainline based, perhaps 6.18.y ... -

better understand expectations.
afaik wayland is not supported in this version of xfce. You have to use Gnome or KDE. -

Great news! So a simple apt update/upgrade will fix it for me?
Yes, but packages hasn't been pushed out yet. We need to test and possibly fix last problems on images. In 10-14 days. -
Problem is in Balena decompression of xz files. Use USB imager or something else (or 2 years old version of Balena). It will work. We filed bug when it was discovered, but it was not fixed by this day. We can't fix this app for them ...
BTW. Its all here:

running kernel 6.6.63 is not save
6.6 is LTS kernel https://www.kernel.org/category/faq.html When some security issue is found, it goes into all LTS kernels. Higher version number does not guarantee bigger safety. Most recent has more functional bug fixes and new features and is generally more fragile - bugs / holes yet to be found.

Yes, v25.11.1 with 6.12.y https://www.armbian.com/odroid-hc4/ doesn't have those problems. At least I could not recreate them. Booting HC4, plugged in two usb devices, all good: https://paste.armbian.com/ibifozegof

supposedly, these images do not boot.
Strange. Well, I tested recently released v25.11.1 images https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-m4-v2/ and they boot (Noble Gnome). I won't be testing older images. (image upload still working in this moment - will take an hour or so to appear on /dl pages) -
I tested v25.11.1 https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/ released yesterday - vendor kernel, Gnome desktop, acceleration works, 4k video playing with Chromium, audio works ... Since I don't have model + right on hand, i didn't test it. But its very similar board and I assume it works. It should even boot with image for normal Opi 5 but all peripherals won't be working correctly.

We don't have resources to deal with this question, but I think, in case of this hardware, there is just firmware package (armbian-firmware / linux-firmware) that fits into this. Perhaps some other util. There must be some scripts to scan Debian packages and tell? From my head, I remember iozon3 package (might not be by default on minimal) that is non-free https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/iozone3
-
One interface is for STA (client mode / normal wireless) and one for AP (access point, where you connect to) or P2P (Wi-Fi Direct). Some firmware / drivers enables this by default. Usually it is in Makefile (just example https://github.com/armbian/rtl8723ds/blob/main/Makefile) but it could also be deep in the code. Don't know.
-
Use the one that works / safe to ignore. I think one device is normal and the other for WiFi direct.

Try from here: https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/incoming/igorpecovnik/ (this is going to be next release - first test build).

I don't understand where other images to find
There are no other images available at the moment. Regarding this, there is some initial but incomplete work in progress here:
https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8831We can’t merge it in its current state, as it still requires a significant amount of additional work and refinement. Unfortunately, this means there isn’t a quick solution right now, so we’ll need to wait until the implementation is completed and validated.

I tested self build opi5 few days ago and there was no problem installing and booting from nvme, legacy kernel, Noble Gnome desktop. Make sure you select second option when updating SPI bootloader (not sata).

Any comments on the work in that branch?
Hard to say how far that work has progressed and what currently functions. You are welcome to use it and continue development on your own. Armbian is primarily a build framework, and our capacity for maintaining hardware is very limited — typically to just a few boards or platforms. Tony played a key role in this effort, though he may not be available to continue contributing in his personal time. Getting to this point was already a loss of our precious time.
-
We have discontinued maintenance and support for this hardware, as our collaboration agreement with the vendor did not move forward as planned.

is there new bootloader firmware built as a result of your changes?
Yes, but I haven't test it. I used pre-flashed to boot my image and I am done with this board / platform. Someone else has to take it from here.6 hours ago, bschnei said:This page is probably in need of work: https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ the download links don't seem to work for me (they redirect to mirrors.aliyun.com)
If board gets maintained status, this will start working automatically. Links point to our servers where this board images are not present - we only keep supported on our servers, for things we know they at least boot.

It might be related to Trixie (quick test is checking this on Ubuntu variant). We fix few bugs in user space - some packages were missing due to changes in their relations ... if we are talking about hardware RTC, then it is kernel related. Generic kernels usually have only basic support for most boards we are dealing with, but still, this specific function could work different or not at all. Depending of the version and time of build. Hard to say without investigation. I added battery to my N2+ a while ago and tested RTC functionality. It worked, but its a long time ago since I did that test. I will look into this when possible.
