I've made a few tests based on armbian and the ubuntu images provided by orange pi. First thing the SPI image: The link points to a 4MB image when the file used to be a 16MB one (file changed on June 1) The new version doesn't seem to work (nothing displayed on serial console when booting without an SD card). The older 16MB seems to work : https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/orangepi-build/raw/cdfc212a812ead294d7b98b4cedb15b1ee60bec2/external/packages/bsp/rk3588/usr/share/orangepi5/rkspi_loader_sata.img this img file can also be found inside the orange pi image as explained in the orange pi section Secondly the armbian image: It seems several changes have been made between 23.02 and 23.05 (at least the overlay names). With 23.02 images the procedure explained here does seem to work with a sata ssd. With 23.05 images the sata ssd does not seem to appear (when booting on SD card) so the procedure can't be completed. Also the sbc hangs at reboot/poweroff (kernel panic) For now I'm gonna use 23.02 until we get more feedback with 23.05

Orange Pi has released new debian images this week : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Xk7b1jOMg-rftowFLExynLg0CyuQ7kCM I haven't tested it yet but it says 5.16.17 which should be a nice step from the previous 4.9 images if they managed to make all features to work. They also updated their ubuntu images https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ohxfoxWJ0sv8yEHbrXL1Bu2RkBhuCMup but still with 4.9 kernel

Do you think orange pi 3 armbian images will work on the LTS version ? Or do they need to be patched to support the new network chip ?

Quick update : the issue seems gone with 5.7.15 kernel

My 2 zeropi cards get new mac addresses at each reboot which is quite annoying for DHCP configuration If I rollback to 5.4.30 kernel the issue disappears. When using this kernel I get a 02:81 address for the two cards. When using current kernel the mac address seems totally random
