Yep, looks like it's about the netplan renderer. I've tried the actual image instead of the one I built locally and even just a reboot is able to reproduce the issue. The main difference is that on the image I built networking was via NetworkManager by default, while the image on the website uses systemd-networkd.

It seems that the images mostly just use some of Armbian patches, maybe some custom ones. Comparing them thoroughly and applying what I can if needed is my goal now.

First time seeing this 3.0.0 image, will check it out

Hi,
 
regardless of the image you are going to use we at this forum can only support Armbian images downloaded here: https://www.armbian.com/bigtreetech-cb1/
 
If you miss fixes or features that should already be included in Armbian you can also try pre-release images from here: https://github.com/armbian/os/releases

I've only worked with the BPI-M4-ZERO.
 
My personally opinion on the h616/8 line up is that the focus should be on stable and not LTS. Little to none of the official mainline patches are being back ported and the patches being used currently in LTS are kind of hack-a-noodle patches.
 
For example:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/CA+E=qVeMnQNrT8tNnHBnCL2Efy3VjbRAYQGMXstziCThRsiBDw@mail.gmail.com/T/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20240419071450.7aiheeoyq35yjoo7@vireshk-i7/T/
 
The ones being currently used in Armbian I believe are either RFC's or taken from OPI. The thermal patch above is already in 6.9.y.
 
But with that said, if you have any questions feel free to hit me up and if I can, I'll help.

Thanks, looks like the new board will launch soon. I will wait until the v2 comes out.
