Hello everyone.

Does any of the developers participate in the debug party? Someone has information how long this party will last and when the production will start. I am asking because I have to plan the budget and report it to the accounting department. We don't know when Radxa has dealt with everything. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Armbian developers are more or less the only one that are progressing somewhere and this https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/3984 is the result of that work + information you can find at http://discord.armbian.com/.

They are hardware vendor and they still have enough work to come out with good hardware. Certain problems on hw level has been identified and support is not near complete, modern kernel ... nothing ATM.
