Thewonderer Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 (edited) Hi, I went to see if there were any updates to the OPi5+ images and saw the OPi5 had updates. I clicked on the link on the main download page. https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-5/ https://redirect.armbian.com/orangepi5-plus/archive/ I've come back and now it has desktop images but no server images.

Solution Werner Posted February 14 Solution Share Posted February 14 Maybe they are still being assembled. Release is planned. Check for server images here and then do apt update/upgrade once its released: https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/archive/orangepi5-plus/archive/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewonderer Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Following on from the update, if and when a new Kernel is added such as 6.8 which is getting a lot of commits with RK3588 SOC, will an apt update do the trick for that too? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewonderer Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Thanks Wener. 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. I might hold off until 6.8 comes out in a month then do a clean install. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With low price there is no money left for software development. 5 hours ago, Thewonderer said: 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewonderer Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Thanks Werner, I've been looking at the work going on here and this gives me hope. https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werner Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 You can always build an image combining the kernel and userspace flavor of your choice. https://github.com/armbian/build 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
