Thanks Igor.
Just for reference, I also tried Armbian_community_26.2.0-trunk.332_Odroidhc4_forky_current_6.18.7_minimal.img
 apt update
 apt upgrade
 apt install linux-headers-current-meson64
 apt install zfsutils-linux zfs-initramfs zfs-dkms zfs-zed
 
Everything went fine and seams to working OK.

Hi
 
Installed Armbian_25.11.1_Rock-5c_trixie_current_6.12.58_minimal.img and one of the USB-3 port, the top one, doesn't work. No reaction when inserting something, nothing in /var/log/syslog. 
The same with Armbian_25.11.1_Rock-5c_noble_current_6.12.58_minimal.img
The Armbian_25.11.1_Rock-5c_trixie_vendor_6.1.115_minimal.img however is OK.
What could be the cause of this problem?
 
Thanks and regards,
Chris

There is no BIOS or such there, I couldn't find nothing like a serial number using lshw/hwinfo. On the boards themselves there some numbers.
Both boards are Rev 10.020200807, however another numbers I found on them differ, on the old one there is a E257384 2034, on the newer one E257384 2214.
Go figure out. From HK didn't get any clear answer, even if people there in the forum seam nice and helpful.
As for what you wonder about: don't think so, I might be wrong, though 🙂

This is the official Armbian image Armbian_20.11.10_Rockpi-e_buster_current_5.9.14.img from  https://redirect.armbian.com/rockpi-e/Buster_current 
 
armbianmonitor -u output is here http://ix.io/2PDj
 
So far it works OK. I didn't do any special tests. Just set-up a WiFI accesspoint with hostapd (on bridge eth2/wlan0) and udhcpd. iptables for masquerading and just now accessing internet from my phone using
this AP.
ifconfig shows three Ethernet interfaces. the two real ones are eth0 and eth2.
Let me know if I could be of any help. Would be a pleasure for me to give a bit back to Armbian :-)
 
Both, RockPi-E and OpiR1+ generate a Kernel panic at the end of "init 0"  harmless AFAICS. Output is attached.
 
Regards,
Chris

Have they released Office/Windows under F/LOSS license?  Tells you everything you need to know.  Leopard don't change their spots, which is why I am not buying that they suddenly "got religion" about open source.
 
Remember, they tried (very hard!) for decades to kill F/LOSS!  Referring to it as "cancer", etc.  Back then, the future was not certain, I can assure you!  By now, things look a lot better, it appears we won and they lost!  We are not only still here, but growing, which is why they had to switch tactic/marketing, or else become irrelevant.  But that is all it is, marketing (i.e., lies, as their actions prove otherwise, see first point).
 
So let them die off already, IMO.  By virtue of their past actions, they no longer deserve to be a part of the collaborative future we are building together.  Make no mistake, they are still the enemy.  And the enemy deserves neither aid nor comfort from us.
 
If you are going to disregard all the above and put it in anyway, then yes, Vscodium would be a more palatable alternative (removing the spyware).  But still misses the (IMO) more important political point.  Not to mention the fact that such a fork is necessary only serves to reinforce my earlier points that M$ still does not really "get it."  Even when trying to do "open source" they still cannot help themselves but put spyware into it, have a EULA, and all the other nonsense we have always expected from them.
