This week’s Armbian development saw a series of important updates and hardware support enhancements across multiple platforms. Notable additions include SATA overlay support for Orange-Pi-5, initial compatibility for Mekotronics R58HD, and improved kernel configuration for xpressreal-t3 with WWAN and IOSM support. Kernel and bootloader updates were widespread, with several boards receiving bumps to Linux 6.17 and U-Boot v2025.10-rc releases. Key patches addressed Wi-Fi injection for Linux 6.12, display mode fixes for rk3588 boards, and eMMC frequency adjustments for NanoPC-T6. Automation improvements and driver updates further streamlined the build process. These changes collectively strengthen Armbian’s hardware compatibility and system reliability for users and developers alike.
