Why two different wireless interfaces?
One interface is for STA (client mode / normal wireless) and one for AP (access point, where you connect to) or P2P (Wi-Fi Direct). Some firmware / drivers enables this by default. Usually it is in Makefile (just example https://github.com/armbian/rtl8723ds/blob/main/Makefile) but it could also be deep in the code. Don't know.

Radxa-cubie-a5e second Ethernet port not work after update
There are no other images available at the moment. Regarding this, there is some initial but incomplete work in progress here: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/8831 We can’t merge it in its current state, as it still requires a significant amount of additional work and refinement. Unfortunately, this means there isn’t a quick solution right now, so we’ll need to wait until the implementation is completed and validated.

Support for vivid unit by uugear
Hard to say how far that work has progressed and what currently functions. You are welcome to use it and continue development on your own. Armbian is primarily a build framework, and our capacity for maintaining hardware is very limited — typically to just a few boards or platforms. Tony played a key role in this effort, though he may not be available to continue contributing in his personal time. Getting to this point was already a loss of our precious time.

espressobin completely set aside?
Yes, but I haven't test it. I used pre-flashed to boot my image and I am done with this board / platform. Someone else has to take it from here. If board gets maintained status, this will start working automatically. Links point to our servers where this board images are not present - we only keep supported on our servers, for things we know they at least boot.

Release coordination
Problems - nothing much: - rk3588 vendor performance and video encoding possibility (could be userspace related - we don't know atm) - hdmi input eating irq / high load - several boards are stuck with vendor boot loader which has troubles compiling with modern compiler - atf has been bumped and might have effects on boards that are using it - suspend will be disabled by default on systemd level

Anyone have Armbian 24.11 image for Jetson Nano?
https://github.com/armbian/os/commits/25.11.0-trunk.367/git_sources.json This file determine state (hash) of sources. It's not a straightforward process, but one can recreate exact image (except userspace packages, which versions are not stored) This file has to be here https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/31e82512cc60a74f56b710aa2971d7dc2beec9b9 One day, this will be done better Sadly there is too much of such e-waste and way way too little people willing to maintain them in their limited private time. I am sure you can find a working image somewhere in our archives so you don't need to throw it away, but we cannot fool you & ourselves to be able to keep this board maintained.

Orange Pi RV2 riscv64 support
Lowest price is what makes it popular. But software is the biggest key of the package and there they are among the worst. On this SoC, we will be cooperating with SoC maker's board directly - working with Orangepi is too damaging for us: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/04/27/muse-pi-pro-feature-packed-credit-card-sized-spacemit-m1-risc-v-sbc/ This will probably be done in a couple of weeks, so you can follow that and adjust accordingly.

Package `base-files` missing for version 25.8.2 and target arm64
Only that its a known issue. In open source world it is normal to see magnitude more issues then its resolving capacity. I'll look into when possible - its high on 2do list. No need.

Package `base-files` missing for version 25.8.2 and target arm64
Correct. It's a problem of: https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/.github/workflows/complete-artifact-matrix-all-stable.yml and this configuration: https://github.com/armbian/os/blob/main/userpatches/targets-all-not-eos.yaml It is something to study

nand-sata-install hoses XU4 rev 1
Long time no see! This doesn't look right. I checked docents of commits and so far couldn't find anything that would stand out. nand-sata-install only copies / rsync file-system, recreate boot scripts and flash boot-loader if necessary. If usb_storage is missing from initird, its normal that it doesn't boot. Its as module: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/main/config/kernel/linux-odroidxu4-current.config#L1274 I would say its something to do with initird generation. Could be on the build / distro tools side. @belegdol perhaps knows something?

Dual screen not mirrored?
What do you mean by that? You mean LCD screen on the device and HDMI monitor. This should probably work OOB on vendor 6.1.y kernel. It should also work with mainline, but I haven't tested that and I am not sure that this is included in latest stable build as it was added not long ago. Try build from sources, use EDGE kernel perhaps. It is very specific case - probably nobody asked for that before. At least I don't recall. Core features are based on SoC, so when you are looking for clues, look wider - Orange 5 *, Khadas Edge 2, Bananapi M7, ... all that carries RK3588 SoC. Best is to start with recommended Gnome image. That is most polished.
