We’ve added a powerful new Image Flashing Tool to Armbian! You can now browse, download, and flash Armbian images directly to your device’s internal storage or boot media - no external tools required. Everything happens seamlessly inside armbian-config, making installation and re-installation faster, safer, and easier than
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

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’
