Which build image to use?

[Yell]

Was using the old MainsailOS Image until recently switching to armbian IOT bookworm and currently bleeding edge for the ghost touch fix.

Today i noticed BTT now also released their armbian and armbian+klipper builds recently

https://github.com/bigtreetech/CB1/releases 

 

 

So which on is it? 

Can find any much action on the official linked on https://github.com/JohnTheCoolingFan/armbian-build/commits/btt-cb1/

Hi,

 

regardless of the image you are going to use we at this forum can only support Armbian images downloaded here: https://www.armbian.com/bigtreetech-cb1/

 

If you miss fixes or features that should already be included in Armbian you can also try pre-release images from here: https://github.com/armbian/os/releases

@Yell BigTreeTech images are like a reference image made by bigtreetech, it doesn't have the long-terms support and usually uses old kernel versions, simply an image to use when the board was just released. The other link is a link to my forked repo where I did work on the board before it got merged into the main branch, it's a temporary branch and you should not use it.

I recommend using the official Armbian image as that is what is supported on this forum, you can download it on the armbian website (armbian.com)

Hi there, thanks for the replies. I'm still new to armbian and trying to figure out what's it's all about.

 

As far as I can tell the BTT "3.0.0" looks like the current image from armbian.com, both bookworm with 6.6.60.

What I can't tell if BTT has better/newer drivers or fixes. Like the mentioned ghost touches in combination with the 35tft spi.

 

Can't fully grasp armbian-upgrade but it looks like it would override those things?

armbian-upgrade

That is just a small script for user convenience which does this:

 

#!/bin/bash
trap "exit" INT TERM
[[ $EUID != 0 ]] && exec sudo "$0" "$@"
apt update
apt -y upgrade
apt clean
apt -y autoremove
exit 0

Nothing weird, nothing fancy, just upgrades and house-keeping.
