    That is awesome. I checked the github but I cannot find any images. And thanks for the other links. Do you know if anyone has put together some instructions on how to flash that bootloader to the orange pi 5?

    I did build my own image and there are definitely some odd differences... like the boot partition on my custom image is fat vs on the official image it is ext4. Wouldn't be surprised that this is the cause

    I'm going to try this python project instead https://pypi.org/project/PiIR/ and see if I can re-use my LIRC configuration somehow. I really can't figure out why LIRC and all these IR systems are so complex and require a kernel module... Sending the IR stuff is just sending pulses on a LED - should only just require GPIO permissions. The IR option doesn't seem to be available yet on the Orange Pi 5 images - somehow that hardware menu is not in the armbian-config yet.

    PR was accepted 🙂 so for anyone stumbling on this issue - it should be something of the past https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4727

    I'm trying to setup LIRC on my OPI5 but I can't find any details on how that would be possible. I checked the kernel configuration and I cannot see any references to LIRC either. The module list has nothing obvious - is this feature completely disabled? Any suggested alternatives?

    Thank you!! I rebuilt the whole image - I can't believe how easy the armbian build system is. Couple questions: 1) Any particular reason many modules are completly disabled from kernel? 2) Would it be worth doing a PR to build the MediaTek drivers as modules?

    Ah thank you - so I started looking into the build. My understanding is that the armbian build generates a new custom image. The tool is quite amazing and straightforward but few questions: - For any updates, would I need to re-build and re-install a new image? - Is there a way I could update my current build using a generated image?

    I know this driver should be part of the recent kernel releases (and definitely avail for 5.10) but I am not sure how/why/where this driver would be in the armbian release. I also did install the firmware files but I don't see the module in the /usr/lib/module section. Any suggestions to build or enable this driver? Thanks

    In the original PR for Orange PI 5 I recall someone mentioned that the Jammy had somekind of glitch with USB on the OPI5 but is that still the case? From the threads here, it looks like the distribution has many patches and fixes. Is Bullseye the recommended distribution?
