Werner's post in [HC4] Broken headers with v25.2.2 [?] was marked as the answeriirc xtables-addons was never a part of linux-headers. Though it can be installed separately and needs linux-headers installed to build the necessary kernel module.
Have you tried to build your own set of firmware packages using the build framework? code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } ./compile.sh BOARD=odroid-c2 BRANCH=current kernel

Werner's post in Desktop images with Armbian Linux v6.12 (Build Date: Mar 6, 2025) -- no output to hdmi after boot up was marked as the answerif you need working hdmi use vendor or edge kernels. current (which is 6.12.y) does not have all the necessary patches already since they were (and still are) under heavy development.

Werner's post in Some system upgrades with reboot make OS fail to boot correctly... and does not recognize password. was marked as the answerWe had the case on various boards over a couple of years that sometimes warm reboots fail. Since the reason is always individual, hard to tell by heart.
Anyway I suggest to extract proper logs from debug uart console. If you don't know what I am talking about: https://debug.armbian.de

Werner's post in Boot from NVME on Nanopim4 v2 was marked as the answerHow do you connect a NVMe to this board?
Never mind. Wrong prefix.
Anyway you need boot loader present on either spi, emmc or sd. Direct boot from nvme isnt possible.

Werner's post in How to enable sound on a server version of Armbian was marked as the answershort version: switch to vendor kernel.
long version: mainline support for rk3588 is far from being feature-complete. Audio probably hasn't been mainlined yet. Check https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md
If you need most things to work vendor is the way to go for now which is based on Rockchip SDK.

Werner's post in Installing 24.11 on Orange Pi 5 Plus was marked as the answerFeel free to build an image with edge branch which is 6.13-rc...5..ish? I don't remember. Anyway this should give you a good idea about what to expect when it becomes stable after rc7.

Werner's post in correct procedure to disable kernel updates was marked as the answerThis seems like a bug to me. The linux-*-vendor packages you mentioned should be frozen with this option as well.
I forwarded this to the repo: https://github.com/armbian/configng/issues/368

Werner's post in Armbian Kernel Features was marked as the answerHi,
best way to follow mainline development is both the Collabora sheet here https://gitlab.collabora.com/hardware-enablement/rockchip-3588/notes-for-rockchip-3588/-/blob/main/mainline-status.md
and the Linux/U-Boot ARM patchwork: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/list/
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/list/
Though none of this exists for 6.1.y or older 5.10.y since these kernels are from Rockchip SDK (and these are not even public but leaked by people who have access) and nobody knows (at least I don't ) what or if they are working on at the moment. Closest in following this development is check the commit log here https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip or its forks. Maybe somebody works on something: https://github.com/armbian/linux-rockchip/network

Werner's post in Odroid N2 Armbian 23.05.1 Ubunt 22.04 kernel built with 6.6.63 but no headers exists!!! was marked as the answerEasiest is probably to build a custom set of packages including headers.
With the build framework this is quite simple.
Clone repo https://github.com/armbian/build/
code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } ./compile.sh BOARD=odroidn2 BRANCH=current KERNEL_CONFIGURE=no kernel
Copy the debs from output/debs folder to the board and install them via code { font-family: Consolas,"courier new"; color: crimson; background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2); padding: 2px; font-size: 105%; } dpkg -i

Werner's post in no image on monitor (black screen for ever). was marked as the answerUse vendor kernel based images, 6.1.y to say. I assume you tried mainline.
Mainline images are known having incomplete hdmi support. This will be better once kernel 6.13 images are available.
For even better experience check for images with mesa-vpu extension or build such by by yourself.
Try these just for fun if you want: should include everything.

Werner's post in Continually Reboots was marked as the answerChange everything to known-good
- sdcard
- PSU
- cables (!)
- Armbian image
If the behavior does not change the board is probably broken.

Werner's post in Building linux-tools using Armbian/build? was marked as the answerHi,
I don't there is a mechanism yet to just build this package.
Because you are using an x86 machine and then the build framework uses cross compiling to create armhf/arm64 binaries.

Werner's post in BSP requires >=24.11.1 base files was marked as the answerHm @Igor might be playing with Oracular. Though both this userspace and the upgrade to it are completely unsupported by Armbian. Therefore moved out of standard support for now.

Werner's post in Automatic boot of Orange Pi 5 Plus on Power On was marked as the answerI am not aware that this can or needs to be setup in any way. I just boots up when power is connected. I did not test with microsd (I use SPI/NVMe) but I assume it works the same way.
