NanoPi Neo Last Official Build

[dave3]

Back in March I ran into problems with the community builds for the NanoPi Neo, for Debian Bookworm.  It would boot up initially, but within 30 minutes or so, it would crash.  So I did a fresh install from the last official build I had saved from June 2023:

Armbian_23.5.2_Nanopineo_bookworm_current_6.1.30

And then I froze these packages to keep the working firmware and kernel:

armbian-firmware/bookworm,bookworm 24.2.1 all [upgradable from: 23.05.1--1-SAfece-B6ae3]
linux-dtb-current-sunxi/bookworm 24.2.1 armhf [upgradable from: 23.05.1--6.1.30-Sa343-D8bc9-P73a0-C162eHfe66-HK01ba-V014b-B9c18]
linux-image-current-sunxi/bookworm 24.2.1 armhf [upgradable from: 23.05.1--6.1.30-Sa343-D8bc9-P73a0-C162eHfe66-HK01ba-V014b-B9c18]
linux-u-boot-nanopineo-current/bookworm 24.2.1 armhf [upgradable from: 23.05.1--2022.04-Se4b6-P6b27-H0429-Ve2df-B91a8]

 

I know there are newer official builds from when it was still supported, but I can't find them available for download anymore.  Do you know if there's an archive somewhere that would have it?  Thanks.

Thank you!  It looks like what I had was pretty close, anyway.  The last one was:

 

Armbian_23.8.1_Nanopineo_bookworm_current_6.1.47

 

from August 2023.

dear dave3, 
Have you encountered the problem that when recording Armiban to an SD card, the nano pi neo air does not appear on the PC as a com port? If I install the old version of Armbian 5.73 and connect it via USB to the PC, it sees it as a com port.

[dave3]

I don't think I've ever tried to connect the NanoPi to the PC to access the SD card.  I didn't know there was such a thing.  I just use a usb SD card adapater.

Dear @dave3
I had the same problem with my three NanoPi Neo2 (the H5 version of the Neo)
I went for the (latest) 6.1.36 image and did also the freeze kernel/firmware (now they are running cool/stabe:

[dave3]

That's good to know.  I haven't installed the later 6.1.47 version.  I've still got the kernel frozen at 6.1.30 and it's running fine.  Maybe the slightly older official version is better than the latest.

 

I've thought about trying to upgrade to the latest community build, since it's been some time, hoping they've fixed it, but I'm hesitant.
