The Milk-V Duo S is a very cheap and small board. It runs a Sophgo SG2000 with an Arm Cortex-A53 and a RISC-V C906, 512 MB of RAM, and a physical slide switch decides which one boots. Armbian now supports both architectures. PR #10326 landed the port
continous integration
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.

Armbian's next release boots the FriendlyElec NanoPi M5 end-to-end from UFS on a mainline U-Boot, with no proprietary recovery image in the loop. It is the first RK3576 board in the catalogue to reach this state, and the integration pattern paves the way for the

This week’s Armbian development saw a major cleanup of legacy toolchain code, alongside numerous board-specific improvements and kernel updates. Support was added for the Nuvoton MA35D1 NuMaker IoT board, while the BananaPi CM4/M2S and Khadas VIM3L boards received updated U-Boot bootloaders. Several fixes addressed hardware compatibility,
