Ubuntu Noble 24.11.1 GNOME Testing:	Rolling Release (25.2.x) Testing:
Kernel Vendor 6.1.75 Boot ok, from emmc and nvme HDMI ok, boot splash screen shows up USB-C DP + HDMI at the same time wonky (alone both work as intended) USB2 and USB3 ok 2.5GbE Ethernet ok WiFi ok Bluetooth “Failed to set mode: Failed (0x03)” Analog audio codec is ok Reboot and shutdown work as intended 4K YouTube Playback fine with Mesa-VPU extension	Kernel Vendor 6.1.84 Everything from 6.1.75 Fixed Bluetooth search & pairing

Images here are for 5B, for model 5A can be found here.
Some eMMC devices are broken on 5A
PD is broken for the 5B model (background) on most revisions that are in the wild and is causing boot loop. Workaround is to use a stupid / fixed 5-24 volts USB-C power supply.
Installation to NVME or USB is done via standard armbian install utility (sudo armbian-install). Make sure to generate partitions and format them before start.

Note:

Booting is supported only from SD Card, NVMe, or eMMC.
Before booting Armbian, you must erase the eMMC; otherwise, the system will not start.
To boot from NVMe, the bootloader needs to be installed on either the eMMC or the SD Card using armbian-install or rkdeveloptool.
