This week’s Armbian development saw a series of notable updates across build scripts, kernel versions, and board support. Key improvements include the addition of wget to host preparation scripts and expanded zram compression options for meson64 configurations. The build system now allows for minimal btrfs compressed images and introduces kernel bumps to version 6.18 for multiple platforms, including qcs6490, meson64, rockchip64, and UEFI. The BPI-R4/filogic platform received a kernel reorganization, while a new CSC board, Luckfox Lyra Zero W, was added for rockchip devices. Several build machinery fixes and driver updates were also implemented, alongside corrections in module documentation. These changes collectively enhance Armbian’s flexibility, hardware compatibility, and overall reliability.
