As of 2025-12-01, current 'Armbian 25.11.1 Trixie Minimal / IOT' lists as 'Kernel: 6.12.58, Size: 505 KB, Release date: Nov 22, 2025' and seems to have had problems on image generation.

 

Please check when possible.

 

Thanks in advance,

Does it fail to assemble image? Or you can make image but image is corrupted? For that part we have an explanation: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#flash-to-sd-card

File (.xz) less than 1M, it extracts to 1444M, only 836k content, rest is sparse. Only U-Boot is written It looks like. So clearly image generation failed.

just noticed current kernel is broken. I assume because of upstream changes. looks like similar what I've fixed for meson64 6.18-rc7.

 

Got it, will send pr

 

Of course this does not explain why the image wasn't correctly assembled at all...

 

Looking good: https://paste.armbian.de/ohagifufem

We checked and it works on supported build host. We need to see logs to understand why it is failing for you.

I have not tried to build the image myself. I wanted to flag that the file linked for download was not correctly assembled. I should have been more precise.

Aha. We only test one randomly picked image per board - not all of them. And nobody noticed small size of the file ... I see now. Probably runner starved for memory or some other problem. Logs were already deleted so I can't check, but have started new build.

Indeed  All clear now.

Can you check one from here:

Sizes seems alright.

I downloaded 'Armbian_25.11.2_Odroidc2_trixie_current_6.12.58_minimal.img.xz', flashed it to sdcard, and it booted fine.

 

As a sidenote unrelated to the issue at hand, my first try was with the sdcard on a device with emmc, and in this case the boot process stopped after block-local (?), and dropped to initramfs shell prompt.
