This week's work centers on a consolidated uwe5622 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth driver, CI and repository infrastructure changes, and board and toolchain enablement across multiple SoC families. The uwe5622 driver has been relocated to a dedicated repository and unified across kernel versions. Initial commits address a use-after-free
Welcome to the latest Armbian Newsletter: your source for the latest developments, community highlights, and behind-the-scenes updates from the world of open-source ARM and RISC-V computing. The upcoming Armbian release 26.08 will be based on Linux 6.18 LTS, giving users the benefits of a
When you download an Armbian image, flash it to your SD card or SSD, and boot your board, a huge amount of automation has already happened behind the scenes. That invisible engine is what you can see at https://actions.armbian.com. Think of it as the mission control center
Rising summer ambient temperatures erode the thermal headroom SBCs rely on, causing silent throttling and instability. Here's why high-density SoCs like the RK3588 are most at risk, and how to pick the right cooling strategy to stay stable.
This week's work centers on new board enablement and platform maintenance, kernel and U-Boot refresh across Rockchip and Sunxi, and CI/build infrastructure improvements. Board support expanded with the addition of Sovol Zero, SV08, and SV08 Max on the H616 platform, alongside mainline and edge enablement for
This week's updates center on new hardware enablement, a broad U-Boot v2026.07 modernization, and build system hardening for toolchain and infrastructure changes. Board support expanded across multiple SoC families, including the X88 PRO RK3566 TV box, Avnet MaaXBoard 8ULP (i.MX8ULP), EASY EAI Nano (RV1126), and
This week's updates center on expanded board support, Rockchip and Qualcomm platform maturation, and build system refinements. New hardware coverage grew across multiple SoC families, with the Lubancat 5IO (RK3588), KickPi K3B, Mellow Fly C5 3D printer board, and community support for the Orange Pi Zero 3W (Allwinner
This week's cycle emphasizes broad U-Boot modernization, new board and SoC enablement, and kernel and wireless driver consolidation. A large-scale U-Boot bump moves sunxi 32-bit and 64-bit targets from v2024.01 to v2026.07-rc4, with follow-on updates for self-pinned H616/
This week's work centers on a comprehensive CI pipeline overhaul, expanded board and SoC support, and notable U-Boot and kernel modernization across Rockchip platforms. A substantial portion of the changes target CI infrastructure hardening in the new os-ci-test repository, including self-contained release handling, GHCR
