Hi Ryzer, hi Igor, I was out of town for a while, but recently I could try out the new Armbian release v25.8.1, which incorporates the changes made by Ryzer. I chose kernel version 6.15 and did get an HDMI output on a Dell 21,5" monitor. So I managed to configure the pcduino2 for its purpose and I am using it again after many years. Excellent! Thank you so much for all your efforts! Great to be back as an Armbian user. Just as a side note: I was first trying with my Dell UltraSharp 34" monitor and there the HDMI output still does not work. I does work with the old Armbian 5.38 version for pcduino2 from the archives and also with Raspberry Pi 3 using a recent version of Raspberry Pi OS. Anyway, this is just for information. I do not think it is worth investigating this issue.

Hi Ryzer, thanks for your response! Okay, I will be on the lookout for some updates in your branch "pcduino2-and-3-improvements" and try again. Thanks for all your efforts to keep those old boards running!

Hi Ryzer, I am the other person on this planet, who still owns a pcduino2 board. 😅 If I understand correctly, the armbian version in your fork should support this board. I have compiled using docker with these settings ./compile.sh build BOARD=pcduino2 BRANCH=current BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=no EXPERT=Yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no RELEASE=noble but there seems to be no hdmi signal coming from the port. I have tested if the board is still alive by using an old armbian version from the archives and that worked fine. I would very much appreciate if you could you tell me which of the branches should I use and if there is anything else I have to consider to get it working? Thanks and all the best!
