Okay, didn't bother checking beforehand

I think this patch can also be backported to 6.18.y in Armbian if @rpardini didn't plan to do anyway.

You are community. Contact yourself As there is no maintainer for this board everyone and nobody the same time is responsible for it. If nobody cares, functionality will fall apart over time.

The userspace is behind, that's not an issue. Hardware support is a kernel thing. If its not there an up-to-date userspace like Forky or Sid means nothing.

Alright, partial success rfkill. Hm perhaps wifi trouble?

Alright, found something. @Meestor_X please try this one: https://testing.armbian.de/Armbian-unofficial_26.02.0-trunk_Radxa-cubie-a5e_trixie_edge_6.18.2_minimal.img.xz

I usually just re-plug the sdcard back into my laptop, the fs mounts automatically for me. Using Linux though, no clue about MacOS.

Please set verbosity to 7 in armbianenv.txt to get a clue about what happens after "starting kernel..." data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Interesting. While this isn't an actual issue since the correct dt was loaded nevertheless it seems like BOOT FDT FILE Is set wrong

moved to tvboxes

For once as stated don't use Balena. use Armbian imager or usbimager For the other write the image anyway as it is, try to boot and grab serial logs if there is an actual issue or not.
