We do not support 3rd party forks. Ask at the place where you got the image from.

armbian-install is meant to be used inside the running Armbian system from microSD card. It copies itself to NVMe or eMMC or whatever options are available and can be utilized. This tool does not work "offline". Anyway. I never did something like that by myself but maybe you find some hints when you google for keywords like "h616 fel sunxi-fel emmc". fel mode seems something like Rockchips maskrom to utilized the rkdevtool. Maybe Allwinner has something similar

Just like guests registered users can read any topic in any public forum.

Just curios. You executed update-grub after adjustments, right?

Never heard of. Anyway Armbian is not an operating system per se. It is a build framework which creates working Linux images by combining a customized Linux kernel for the specific board with a userspace flavor in either Debian or Ubuntu. The images we provide are in practical POV just a side product from testing the build framework and the actually supported images to a certain level and mostly there for user convenience. Due to limited resources Armbian can only support the most recent upstream LTS userspaces which at the moment are Debian 12 aka Bookworm and Ubuntu 22.04 aka Jammy. The upstream support for Debian Stretch has ended June 30, 2022. If you for once are fine with not receive any further updates for either the kernel or the userspace, and for the other find a way to update your nodejs to a newer version anyways you are good to go. To be future proof for a few years I'd suggest to start from scratch with Debian 12 or wait a few month and use Ubuntu Noble which will supersede Jammy in April.

Welcome Those boards usually don't come with a standardized interface like UEFI which makes universal/generic images possible. So customization is necessary for each and every board. This is especially the case for so called tvboxes which makes deal with such devices a huge pain. Refer https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#why-i-cannot-simply-shove-a-random-image-into-my-board-to-work-like-on-my-pc and https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_FAQ/#why-does-armbian-not-support-tv-boxes-in-general-the-market-is-huge Well I guess there is a reason why everything gets faster and bigger since there is a demand. Or maybe people more and more unlearn skills to optimize stuff.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ What's that? Cannot answer the other questions in detail. Not my department Cheers

Just remove armbian from the list. There won't be any further updates anyways. Userspace is way outdated.

Yes. Both kernels vendor and edge have pros and cons. Usually switching is possible via armbian-config.

Update to a more recent kernel. Check if armbian-config offers one with matching headers or build your own debs using the build framework: https://github.com/armbian/build

Check archives: archive.armbian.com If it is not there its gone.

Tried armbian-install?

This is called zram and default in all Armbian images.

What kind of input?

Yeah, why not. As CSC of course.

If I had to guess missing release file. means unsupported userspace Release files for trixie, mantic, bookworm, sid, jammy and noble are there.

Yes. It's stating anyways.

Either from source as already suggested or some hacking: https://wiki.debian.org/CreatePackageFromPPA https://launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/+archive/ubuntu/ppa

Providing more information would be a good point to start. https://debug.armbian.de

Simply run ./compile.sh and you will end up with an image. If you use a switch like "kernel" or "uboot" no image will be built.

We don't deal with OpenWRT but Armbian. https://openwrt.org/downloads

Odd. I have code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } armbian-bsp-cli-odroidc2-current_24.2.1_arm64__1-PC13d1-Vf2bb-H02fb-Ba537-R6632.deb on fi.mirror.armbian.de with timestamp 024-03-02 17:51:29.349711080 UTC Not sure if this is more recent or behind the one you are looking for.
