We're aware that our documentation isn't great (also about adding new hw: https://docs.armbian.com/Process_Contribute/#adding-a-new-board) but it is hard to find time for such tasks when we're crowded with other stuff already. The file extension defines a boards support status. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/ Anyone can add .csc boards. For dts files we have dedicated folders to avoid having a patch necessary for them: https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.12/dt https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/patch/kernel/archive/rockchip64-6.18/dt

Depends on your use case. If you need raw cpu power, better gpu or video processing, Go for RK3588/s based board. If you heavily rely on GPIO and its functions (PWM, I2C,...) go for RPi.

Did you check already merged PRs which were adding new boards? Like https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8754/files Should give some clues.

I wasn't talking about dmesg logs.

Did you make sure they're actually loaded? Like by checking uboot boot logs via serial console?

There is a minor difference in another node: "phandle = <0x2c2>;" in radxa.dts and phandle = <0x2c3>; No clue if that's the culprit or if there is something on software-side to make fan work.

debug boot issues: https://debug.armbian.de This board is community maintained, therefore Armbian core team does not monitor its status. May be broken, may not. We don't know.

Seems missing in kernel config. Feel free to send a PR and enable the module.

./compile.sh BOARD=orangepizero3 BRANCH=current RELEASE=trixie BUILD_MINIMAL=yes KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ replace BRANCH with edge if you prefer more recent kernel. replace RELEASE with noble if you prefer Ubuntu flavour. remove BUILD_MINIMAL=yes to get the choice to build a standard cli image instead of minimal/iot.

Hi, difficult task since there is no support for the whole chip family in the framework yet, but first steps are here:https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8364 I suggest to start by getting familiar with the framework and how the mentioned pending pr it put together. moved

Switch to edge or vendor kernel (latter either with panthor overlay or proprietary mali blobs). current is a bad choice for desktop usage.

Not planned but should be possible. A good start would be to copy the mentioend 2f and extract the device tree from official image and add it to vendor kernel source. If you're lucky that's all what's needed to get it to work.

moved to offtopic. not using Armbian. If you need support with that image, ask at the place where you downloaded from.

RTL8211F is the interesting label.

moved to tvboxes for now. perhaps anyone has a clue how to get rid of Android before continuing.

Use them as command line switches, like code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } ./compile.sh BUILD_MINIMAL=yes FULL_DESKTOP=no ... Used by CI only which kernel to do automatic build tests.

apt install f2fs-tools

Not an Armbian image. If you want to use this one, try to get support from where you got the image from.

You don't have to run on bare-metal. A proper VM will do too and is probably the better solution. Yes. Cross-compiling is used for everything that's not native. You're aware that the command in the docs is just an example, right?

Armbian does not come with some sort of admin console. Please elaborate. Try different patch cable. moved

where exactly does this error show up? while downloading with your browser? while writing to the sdcard? while booting? Please elaborate. debug boot issues: https://debug.armbian.de

It seems like there is a mix-up between specs for the framework and for the OS. A lightweight desktop can run on 512MB, yes but probably not much fun, depending on applications. Won't recommend running a web browser. I'd probably get some existing cheap sbcs with similar specs and play with them to elaborate if the performance is sufficient.
