Currently running 24.8.3 and have copied it to the eMMC, working fine on both the µSD image and eMMC. (On the Rock-Pi-S, if you have a bootable image on the µSD card, it boots from that. If not, it boots from the eMMC.) Today, running from the µSD, I did an apt update and apt upgrade, and it updated a few packages (here's the list): # apt list --upgradeable Listing... Done armbian-config/unknown 25.2.0-trunk.154.1212.080011 all [upgradable from: 24.11.1] armbian-firmware/bookworm,bookworm 24.11.2 all [upgradable from: 24.11.1] base-files/bookworm 24.11.2-12.4+deb12u8-bookworm arm64 [upgradable from: 24.11.1-12.4+deb12u8-bookworm] linux-dtb-current-rockchip64/bookworm 24.11.1 arm64 [upgradable from: 24.11.1] linux-image-current-rockchip64/bookworm 24.11.1 arm64 [upgradable from: 24.11.1] tzdata/stable-updates 2024b-0+deb12u1 all [upgradable from: 2024a-0+deb12u1] Now, it no longer boots from the µSD card. So I assume it's done something catastrophic to the image on that card?

Thank you @brentr ! So you're saying that Armbian 24.8.3 (or later) does not need this additional line in /etc/udev/rules,d/05-fixMACaddress.rules anymore for the interface to have a unique and fixed (unchanging) MAC address? Is there any issue in leaving the extra line in there?

@eselarmI've been working on this for several days, and as far as I can tell, on Armbian 24.8.3, if the "simple test" for whether an overlay has installed is to see if it shows up in `/proc/device-tree` then they are not loading, whether they are added via the overlays= or user_overlays= lines in /boot/armbianEnv.txt. This is for exisitng .dbto files (like s0-ext-antenna, bs, bs@1.3ghz, sdio@10mhz, etc), ones I've copied from websites or forums, or self-created ones. The ONLY way I've been able to successfully install an overlay is by decompiling rk3308-rock-pi-s.dtb, editing it, and recompiling it. Annoyingly, `apt upgrade` will revert that file, so being able to add overlays or user_overlays would be very helpful.

@eselarm are you saying that overlays are working now in 24.11.1 ? (I'm unable to update due to an issue with Armbian-config and apt update not being able to find servers)

I too am not seeing any overlays added via armbianEnv.txt whether I add them on the overlays= line or user_overlays= line. ls /proc/device-tree is the same whether items are added or not. Running 24.8.3 (bookworm). Can anyone confirm that overlays aren't working in case it's something I'm doing wrong?
