This week, we spotlight the latest progress surrounding the Armbian 25.11 release. Development continues at a steady pace, with new board enablement work, kernel refinements, and package updates rolling in from contributors across the community. From single-board computers powering homelabs to lightweight systems deployed at the edge, Armbian 25.
Power problems are one of the most common causes of instability, boot failures, or random restarts in single board computers (SBCs). Because many modern boards use USB-C connectors for power, it’s important to verify that your power supply is delivering the correct voltage and current before assuming there’s
Thermal pads are convenient, but thermal paste can drop your SBC's temperature by 5-8°C under load. Learn why switching to paste creates better heat transfer and prevents throttling, especially during intensive tasks.
Thanks to our amazing community and partners, this release brings mainline U-Boot support to more boards, adds dozens of new devices, and introduces powerful build framework improvements.
Armbian Weekly Highlights: Enhanced Compatibility and Tooling This week in Armbian development saw a range of significant updates and improvements across the project, focusing heavily on expanding hardware support and refining the build framework.

This week in Armbian: We're gearing up for the 25.11 release with a code freeze approaching November 20th, while development continues with new board support and kernel updates. We're also exploring the JetHub D1+ as a professional automation solution, understanding safe operating temperatures for SBCs,
SBCs operate safely up to 80°C but throttle at 85°C. Keep temperatures under 70°C with heatsinks, airflow, and monitoring for optimal performance and longevity.
Forget messy DIY wiring. JetHub D1+ delivers production-ready automation with integrated Zigbee, RS-485, and isolated I/O in a compact DIN-rail package running Armbian or Home Assistant OS.
Armbian 25.11 code freeze begins November 20th. Maintainers should test boards, resolve critical issues, and join the coordination meeting on November 8th.
