What Does Community Support Mean?
Community maintained boards are not officially supported by the Armbian project. These boards are maintained (or not maintained) by community members (like you). These builds are provided by the Armbian project as a service to the community. They are automatically generated and untested!- Help by contributing improvements to this board (Contribution guide)
- Standard Support and Community Maintained Criteria (Support Criteria)
- Help other users by participating in our forums
- works: serial console, 8 cores, USB, SATA, HDMI, DRM video driver
- A83T chip isn’t SATA capable and therefore the SATA port is provided by a (very) slow GL830 USB-to-SATA-bridge

FAQs
Make sure you have a good & reliable boot media (SD card / USB key) and a proper power supply. Archives can be flashed with Etcher (all OS) directly.
Insert the SD card into the slot, connect a cable to your network if possible or a display and power your board. (First) boot (with DHCP) takes a bit longer.
We provide a selection of images that fits hardware best. If you need different image - use build framework and make whatever you need. Build framework relies on Debian and Ubuntu packages - you can build any combination - stable, old stable or rolling release.
Armbian images and kernels can be made from scratch. Supported environment for build framework is any any X64 based Linux distribution. You can re-make live bootable image or just a kernel+dtb(hardware configuration) package which you transfer to your image and install with:
dpkg -i linux-image-[branch]-family.deb linux-dtb-[branch]-family.deb. In that process you can enforce many customisation.
