[File when downloading via a link Armbian_25.5.1_Orangepizero2w_bookworm_current_6.12.23_minimal damaged]

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:

[USB not working, debounce issue on 6.12.56-current-meson64]

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.

Are there any progresses on how to fix this reliably?

 

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

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)

[Custom Build on new version(25.11.0 ) is not enabling Panfrost (Mali) GPU driver (BOARD=orangepi5-plus BRANCH=vendor RELEASE=noble DESKTOP=cinnamon)]

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.

[does the olimex a20-olinuxino-lime2 armbian image contain and install non free software?]

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

[Why two different wireless interfaces?]

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.

[Why two different wireless interfaces?]

Use the one that works / safe to ignore. I think one device is normal and the other for WiFi direct.

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/8831

We 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.

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.

[Support for vivid unit by uugear]

We have discontinued maintenance and support for this hardware, as our collaboration agreement with the vendor did not move forward as planned.

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.

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 would be a shame if the Jetson Nano 2 GB ended up as electronic waste.

Sadly there is too much of such e-waste and way way too little people willing to maintain them in their limited private time. I am sure you can find a working image somewhere in our archives so you don't need to throw it away, but we cannot fool you & ourselves to be able to keep this board maintained.
