@NicoDVersion 20230219. No manual copying of dtb is needed anymore, all support is included in u-boot, i.e. after writing the image to USB\SD, you can use it immediately. The installation on eMMC has been checked. ps All the necessary changes will automatically get into the official relise version, you can build your own version of the images

New version 20230219 with direct support for launching from USB. You don't need to copy anything manually anymore. When installing a new bootloader on eMMC, you get the opportunity to directly start the system from USB without using any additional devices. At the same time, you get the opportunity to start from USB when using SD\eMMC\NVMe, i.e. if you have these media with your system, when you connect USB to the system, when you turn on the power, the system starts from the beginning with USB. This is convenient for quick startup of other systems, without the need to change something or disconnect other media (SD\NVMe). For example, you can install the main Ubuntu system on NVMe and at any time quickly launch another version from USB - Debian, etc.

There is a mirror, where images are updated to the latest version (In a few hours there will be a new version). https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/ I don't use archlinux. As far as I know (I may be mistaken) - this version is assembled from parts of Armbian with the addition of ready-made binary files and settings from other systems, i.e. it is essentially an analogue of twisteros (a prefabricated binary hodgepodge) based on archlinux. u-boot radxa is useless junk with a bunch of errors and hidden problems for users (with any failure to start with NVMe, you will get a problem, you cannot start any system with SD\USB until you physically disable NVMe and other problems). armbian-config is an order of magnitude better and more convenient, it also allows you to easily install\update u-boot in MTD\SPI and simultaneously install the system on NVMe or other media (eMMC\USB). For a long time there have been versions of Armbian with support for different EFI\grub variants (EDK2-EFI and u-boot-efi), see details and links to such images in this topic. So far, OS selection management is available only via UART. Using ARM-blob and additional system performance settings, I get almost 3800 on Rock 5b, on other rk3588s models I get more than 4400 and I have a suspicion that slower memory is used on models with 16GB of RAM, but no one wanted to share the results from rock5b with 8 GB of RAM, with with this system, to determine exactly how reliable it is. Using extlinux.conf or efi\grub (with the correct parameters).

This is convenient for quick startup of other systems, without the need to change something or disable other media (SD\mmc\NVMe). For example, you can install the main Ubuntu system on NVMe and at any time quickly launch another version from USB - Debian, etc.

A test version of Armbian images to run from NVMe without having to write the curve of the official u-boot version to SPI (which breaks the launch of other systems from SD cards and other media). The whole system works completely with NVMe . https://disk.yandex.ru/d/V5AxXNN2yJnOfg The installation of the system on NVMe and u-boot in SPI was checked using the standard tools of the armbian-config utility. Everything works correctly. Also in this new u-boot, the ability to start the system in EFI mode is available. To install a system with EFI\grub on NVMe. Install a new bootloader in SPI. Start the system from the SD card and burn the system image with the EFI\grub DD utility to NVMe. images with EFI\grub support are located in directories with the extension "EFI"

Test version of the Armbian+EDK2 system (UEFI\grub) is available. The system startup control is performed as on a regular PC - through the menu on the monitor screen, therefore, to fully use all the features of selective startup, you need to have a connected monitor and keyboard To use this option. Download the EDK2 image. https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/edk2/ https://disk.yandex.ru/d/kK6KIqHShRHLyw Unpack and burn to SD card. Download the Armbian image (kernel 6.1.0-rc7), For Station M2 https://disk.yandex.ru/d/C4Ql9v0BvhKPjQ For Station P2 https://disk.yandex.ru/d/5XuGz9WgF7FGCg unpack and burn it to a USB drive (8-16GB flash drives are recommended, I haven't checked other options). Connect the SD card and USB drive. Turn on the power. If the system does not start immediately, go to settings and select the device to start. On the EDK2 boot screen, select "Maintaining Manager boot" in the menu item and configure the device used for startup in it (change "none" to "UEFI ...."). Select Reset. If you did everything correctly, after restarting EDK2, you will receive a GRUB menu with a choice of system\kernel. If you do not select anything, the default system will be started in 5 seconds, and in 10-20 seconds (depending on the type of USB flash drive) there will be a standard Armbian customizer for the first launch. If desired, you can place the entire system on an SD card, but additional steps will be required at startup. At startup, the kernel switches the UART console to the correct value for RK (1500000) and you can monitor the kernel startup process and control the system through the UART console. That is, the parameters 115200 can only be useful for viewing the primary output from EDK2 itself, but this is only necessary for developers, for ordinary users, kernel output and system management are more useful, so I recommend using the standard value for Rockchip of 150000. https://github.com/150balbes/edk2_uefi

Alpha version of Armbian images for OrangePi 800. https://disk.yandex.ru/d/3Xta87KhFem-Bw

The first version of Armbian images for Station M3 rk3588s (rk3588s-roc-pc) is available. the launch is very simple - download, unpack, burn to an SD card, connect to the device and turn on the power. The system starts automatically. At the first launch, perform the initial setup in the same way as all Armbian-enabled devices. https://disk.yandex.ru/d/-zSW21XKN0pfIA

Added alpha version of image build support for RISC-V. So far, this is an early version and some of the functions do not work in it. Currently, support has been added for the StarFive model. https://rvspace.org/ Details can be seen in this topic. https://forum.rvspace.org/t/armbian-for-starfive-build-system-ubuntu-debian/468 Added support for Nezha D1 and Lichee RV (Dock) with Allwinner D1 RISC-V chip. To start the system. Download the image, unpack it, burn it to the SD card. Connect the SD card to the device and turn on the power. Further steps for initial setup are similar for all Armbian systems. For the Nezha D1 model, HDMI, LAN, USB, analog audio via 3.5 jack works. For Lichee RV Dock works HDMI WiFi USB USB-LAN Link to download images. https://disk.yandex.ru/d/da8qJ8wyE1hhcQ https://www.cnx-software.com/2021/12/30/sipeed-lichee-rv-risc-v-module-gets-5-carrier-board-with-hdmi-and-usb-ports-optional-wifi/ forum MangoPI https://forum.mangopi.org/

Good news. Thanks to the work of many, there is now a real opportunity to run the Armbian system with the main core on Jetson Nano, and more importantly, it is easy to integrate the image build process into the official GIT Armbian. In the near future, I plan to post ready-made images with the latest kernel 5.10.22 on the download site. To run them, you need to update u-boot to Jetson Nano. This is very easy to do, just run the latest official version of Ubuntu for Jetson Nano from the SD card, it will update itself in SPI (?) u-boot to the latest version (2020.04), after that you can run Armbian from any SD card or USB media. The new u-boot supports automatic system startup from both media or over the network. Also, now you can build an Armbian image for Jetson Nano yourself, easily build the latest kernel with the necessary options, etc. https://users.armbian.com/balbes150/ https://mega.nz/#F!j9QSDQSQ!6WpasOlbZYIInfw6yo4phQ https://disk.yandex.ru/d/XBRXnig7F1M4rw?w=1
