Description

This merge request implements an official support for OLIMEX Teres-A64 by Armbian and assigns myself as the maintainer.

Solves the following issues:

• OS breaking after reboot that is currently present on the weekly builds
• No audio (Solved through including needed packages and updating debian and community olimex wiki)
• No active maintainer
• Removes bloatware introduced from armbian-firmware
