    I did read the vendor bsp was a hack job.  What a shame.  They make a great SOC and then release poor and probably inefficient BSP to go with it.

    You get is what you pay for. With low price there is no money left for software development.

    I might hold off until 6.8 comes out in a month then do a clean install.

    I don't think its worth the wait. There won't be significant improvements anymore in this version but that is up to you. You can always check the diff between the RCs and whole versions:https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/diff/?id=v6.8-rc4&id2=v6.8-rc3&dt=2

  2. Depends on the branch you are on. Mainly used for RK3588 atm are legacy and edge. Latter is following mainline which will probably receive another bump once 6.8 has released and then maybe, if there is enough interesting code, bumped further to 6.9-rc.

     

    Legacy is based on vendor bsp and occasionally people try to fix the flaws within this messy code which is then adopted and pushed via apt.

     

    Switching branches is possible via armbian-config. Also switching to beta is possible.

  3. There are actual two ways. You can use ./compile.sh KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes which will continue to assemble an image with the modified config file which is more user friendly.

    On the other hand there is ./compile.sh kernel-config which will export the modified kernel config into output/ folder and stops there which is more developer friendly.

    If you chose latter route you need to move the exported config to userpatches or overwrite the one in config/kernel/. Once you done that simply execute ./compile.sh and the modified config will be used.

    Either the logs are incomplete or the ethernet ports don't show up at all. Odd...

    Should we continue here or start a new thread? I

    Open as much topics as you need. That is what forums are for. I don't like those multiple pages long mega-threads anyways but for some reason some users seem to be fine with them. As for me at least I don't see how value information can be found within when there is a need to read page by page by page while with multiple topics you immediately see what's going on inside :)

    modifying  armbian-config.

    There should be as minimal adjustments needed as possible since this tool is undergoing major rewrite anyways so besides having it as a working proof-of-concept for the new version it would be a waste of time.

    When you have been involved with Armbian for a length of time (and read a few of igor's rants 🙂 ) you will realize why what was said here will not be received well by many within Armbian.

    Haha, true story.

    Anyway as bad as some rants (not only Igors ;) ) read there is always some truth within and the truth often is either misunderstood or hurts or both.

    Therefore no further action is taken here besides asking everyone to calm down if necessary and keep it more constructive, alright? -> :love:

     

    Oh boy, that was a lot of off-topic :D
