August 26, 20251 yr We have been stuck on version 6.1 for almost half a year ever since the initial attempt to migrate to 6.12 caused some issues with HDMI if I remember correctly. Anyone knows if 6.12 or 6.14 are still in the works for this SBC? Thank you!
August 26, 20251 yr Solution This device is community-maintained. Armbian core team does not monitor its status nor gets involved into development here. However anyone from the community can step up and send fixes. I saw some stuff upstreamed from time to time for 5 ultra and max, hit somewhere between 6.16 and 6.18 I guess. When rockchip64 gets bumped further they will be available for these boards. Since mainline is still under development though sticking with 6.1.y vendor kernel isn't a bad option since most things work here.
August 27, 20251 yr Author Thank you @Werner, that makes, sense and I'll follow your advice. Can you please tell me where do you check those updates? And should I assume that when those changes are completed in mainline, they'll make it to the Armbian distribution with the regular updates? Or will I need to change to a different one if noone updates this one? Thank you again. Kind regards Edited August 27, 20251 yr by DiegoBM

Yes, they will be included in edge kernel and in a year or two when the next LTS kernel hits they'll be included in current as well.

I see they're addressing some key issues, such as NPU functionality and fixing the ES8388 audio issue with the Orange PI 5 Plus (the board I have). This is terrific!!
August 28, 20251 yr Just to let you know. Rebasing our patchset on top of latest mainline is always a big effort, so getting the latest kernel may be delayed for weeks or month.
