NanoPi NEO3 Armbian 26.8.0 Minimal Image (current 6.18.41) checksum doesn't match

(Don't know if this is the right place for this, but the Github-Issue link lead me to here, so... here it goes)

Like the title states, the checksum of the downloaded Armbian 26.8.0 minimal image for the NanoPi NEO3 and the expected checksum for said image differ.

I don't know if this is by accident, but I thought I'd report it before this goes unnoticed.

 

I've tried downloading the image from the Armbian NEO3 page (https://armbian.com/boards/nanopineo3) as well as through the Armbian installer, both resulting in an image with a non-matching checksum (imager log: https://paste.armbian.com/mabojoqoja).

- the SHA256-checksum of the image according to the imager is:

fcde99796d218fc48aed158c8435a07842460e633ef989c08d33ff0c4ac6adc1

- the expected SHA256-checksum on the other hand is:

ba01e79af93e609ee411083f174cd45a620daa6ea67efa58bc3e1784c9fa2e35

 

With the help of ChatGPT (just for the commands to execute), I even tried to verify the image using the signature, but that failed as well. If needed, I can try to reproduce the setup and post the output of the 'gpg --verify' command here...

 

Like I said before, this might just be accidental, but it should be fixed...
