    that you checkout the desired tag of the armbian/build repo and just build it.

    Hi,

     

    Unfortunately this is not the case (yet). Tags are more or less just for archiving the state of the build framework at a certain point of time (usually at release). Due to its design we are not there yet to have working tags that could reproduce older images.

    It is our goal to have this working at some point but things are processing very slow.

     

    VERSION doesn't do anything and is pure cosmetics.

    might be special somehow as the Orange Pi OS had separate Image for the 1,5 Gb  variant

    Probably Armbian also needs a dedicated image for that or some dirty hackjob to allow both variants to boot. Anyway I don't think somebody will waste time on this task...

  3. Hey,

     

    if this works for you just fine then there is not much to worry about. Consider either freezing firmware via armbian-config or create a backup of your OS before doing major updates like kernel since those nightly images feed themselves from the beta repository.

     

    Anyway you are free to build your own image using the build framework. Check the documentation, for standard images there isn't much to it.

    In terms of kernel choice there isn't a perfect solution yet. Both legacy and vendor are, as their names imply, aged vendor bsp kernels which support most board functions but on the downside won't receive much attention in future. On the other hand there is edge which follows mainline as close as possible but is under heavy development to add missing board features and until completion, if this state is ever reached anyways, will take years at least. Basic functionality is there and its mostly fine for server tasks.

  4. Well you could try to write a dtb overlay to add higher clock notes but in most cases it is simply not worth the time since they performance "gain" is negligible in comparison to both the increased power draw and the high chance to fry the SoC while attempting this. Not worth taking the risk.
