Go ahead and put that into a PR if it makes sense. That is the way to slowly improve the situation in armbian. These kinds of patches have to come from the community to be shared with everyone.

Thank you for sharing your work and insights. Please continue and don't give up!

Awesome, thank you so much for this. And it's already merged. Very nice indeed.

sounds like a genuine bug and not an error on your end. @Efe Çetin Can you confirm the issue?

It's super easy to compile your own image: "git clone https://github.com/armbian/build.git;cd build;./compile.sh" https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Building-with-Docker/ https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQcEFsXEJEE FWIW, I just tried to download the two images from https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ and did not have any issue. What problem exactly are you facing? Here's where I am being redirected to: https://github.com/armbian/os/releases/download/25.11.0-trunk.461/Armbian_25.11.0-trunk.461_Espressobin_plucky_current_6.12.57_minimal.img.xz https://github.com/armbian/os/releases/download/25.11.0-trunk.461/Armbian_25.11.0-trunk.461_Espressobin_trixie_current_6.12.57_minimal.img.xz

Wild guess: armbian-firmware or linux-firmware package?

I would assume they show up at https://www.armbian.com/espressobin/ or you can always compile your own.

Then it is time to follow http://debug.armbian.de

Providing logs with armbianmonitor -u helps with troubleshooting and significantly raises chances that issue gets addressed.

As of now, the answer is no. Same CPU means very little in terms of ease of getting it supported.

@blood Thank you for documenting your progress. I recently got hold of a Helios4 and also want to get it to boot directly off SATA. I'm currently working on getting uboot for the Helios4 updated in Armbian. Let's collaborate and maybe do the same for the Clearfog?

Mangix, are you still around? Where is the code you are referring to in openwrt? I see exactly one commit in 2020 about the Helios4 and then nothing after that. I also don't see any specific patches applied.

Have you looked into hosting your own deb package cache locally? You can set the MANAGE_ACNG build switch for that purpose and have a prepopulated apt-cacher-ng proxy in your LAN. Let us know how it goes.

In my opinion and experience, armbian-config is a horrible pile of hacks that are almost guaranteed to eventually eat your data. As such, in my opinion the only sane action is to stay far clear of it.

Please prepend the commands with LC_ALL=C like "LC_ALL=C apt update" and post the output again.
