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, including Bluetooth on Orange Pi Zero2, Type-C issues on Helios64, and build stability for the Raspberry Pi 4B. The release also introduced enhanced audio support for Genio devices and new AV1 patches for Rockchip64. Continuous integration workflows were reorganized, and the Ubuntu Resolute image build was enabled, reflecting ongoing efforts to streamline and modernize the Armbian build system.
