[News from Armbian] - Github Highlights

This week in Armbian development saw significant progress across board support and kernel updates. New boards such as the Cainiao CNIOT Core, EByte ECB41-PGE, DG SVR 865 Tiny, and NORCO EMB-3531 received initial support, expanding hardware compatibility. Kernel patches were rewritten for the meson64 and rockchip64 platforms, aligning with version 6.18.18, while edge releases were bumped to 7.0-rc3 and rc4. Improvements included enhanced SD card and audio support for SpacemiT and Youyeetoo YY3588 boards, as well as refined configuration checks and display fixes. Several upstream patches were dropped or disabled, and the Dependabot schedule was updated for daily maintenance. Additional fixes addressed USB modes, Docker host-gateway resolution, and Xorg display issues, rounding out a productive week for the Armbian project.
