Back to report that this does make a difference but there are still times it won't reboot properly in which case I need to boot it from a USB stick once and then it'll boot again from eMMC

Removing the 'System Volume Information' directory in /boot seems to have fixed the reboot issue for me. Will continue to test over time but I'm cautiously optimistic. Thanks for the pointer!

I would like to thank you for making this available, I really appreciate it! I have bought some of that 'cheapest junk' on Aliexpress. And I must say it is incredibly stable and very power efficient. For me that was the appeal of Armbian. I'm super bummed but understand your reasoning. I would like to ask if you can make the last 5.8.x image available. I checked all the download links and only see the 5.9.0 image. Thanks again for all your great work! (and secretly I'm hoping you'll reconsider your decision )

My current image is Armbian_20.08_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.7.16.img with h96max-x2-test-bus80-gpu-volt.dtb More info:

I run Docker on an X96 Air and H96 Max X3, both headless. Very stable, X96 Air runs a little cooler than the H96 but I can only get 100Mbps ethernet to work (as there is no device specific dtb) vs 1Gbps for the H96. These things are so cheap that you can run multiple of them so it's not a big deal if one fails (which hasn't happened for me yet). I only need HDMI, ethernet, and USB so don't care that sound, wifi, and bluetooth may not work.

It's not there. Red light is still on, any way to turn that off?

The only spdif-out entries I see are: spdif-out-h { mux { groups = "spdif_out_h"; function = "spdif_out"; drive-strength-microamp = <0x1f4>; bias-disable; }; }; spdif-out-a11 { mux { groups = "spdif_out_a11"; function = "spdif_out"; drive-strength-microamp = <0x1f4>; bias-disable; }; }; spdif-out-a13 { mux { groups = "spdif_out_a13"; function = "spdif_out"; drive-strength-microamp = <0x1f4>; bias-disable; }; }; I'm not sure what to change. Any suggestions?

I'll try that, thanks!

spdif-out is the main one

I just installed Armbian_20.08_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.7.16.img on my box and it works great. I'm trying to switch off a few hardware features that I don't need but when I run armbian-config I don't see system > hardware. Any idea why?

What size heat sinks did you get? Does it still fit in the original case?

I'm running Armbian_20.08.0_Arm-64_bionic_current_5.7.0-rc7_20200531 on my X96 air. It's been very stable and unlike a previous version I ran reboot works. I'm trying to disable optical out, any idea on how to do this?
