June 27, 20242 yr Hello all, I had diet-pi on my rock64 for the last few years but recently decided to install armbian debian community maintained firmware. Everything is working fine but I seem to get a new core fw on an almost daily basis (armbian-bsp-cli-rock64-current) and the board needs to be rebooted each time. An I using the wrong repo or is this normal? Should i consider running stock debian instead of armbian?
June 28, 20242 yr By default the community builds point to the 'beta' channel, otherwise known as 'nightly' or rolling releases, which have updates constantly. If you want something more stable, use armbian-config to switch to the stable channel, and then you should only get updates quarterly.
June 28, 20242 yr Author Thanks you for this info. I had a feeling this was the case. I didn't have armbian-config installed and it installs a load of packages but went ahead anyway. Switched to stable channel so thanks again.

We are aware of that and we are working on a new armbian-config, but we are low on human capacity and it goes painfully slow. https://github.com/armbian/configng 1 hour ago, jata said: Switched to stable channel so thanks again. The only change is here, apt -> beta, beta -> apt: cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/armbian.list deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/armbian.gpg] http://apt.armbian.com jammy main jammy-utils jammy-desktop But you need to reinstall related armbian packages. Armbian-config does that for you ...
