This week’s Armbian development saw significant progress in board support and configuration updates. Notable additions include support for the Radxa CM5 IO and Youyeetoo YY3588 boards, alongside improvements for existing hardware such as the Youyeetoo R1 V3 and NanoPi R76S. Several boards, including the Radxa Rock 2A & F, were promoted to standard support status, while video output configurations were refined for BananaPi R4 and Radxa E52c. The team also made kernel advancements by bumping the edge branch to version 6.18-rc7 and updating Helios4 to the latest mainline U-Boot. Additional changes focused on package definitions, Thunderbolt support adjustments, and enhanced boot order and filesystem support, reflecting ongoing efforts to streamline and expand Armbian’s hardware compatibility.
