Armbian 23.11 Release Supports New Boards And Adds New OS Builds
A new update to Armbian with better support for new hardware and new builds. A first choice for many single-board computer (SBC) enthusiasts, Armbian is a lightweight Linux distribution that gives you a highly extensible user experience that can run on various configurations.
It is offered in two distinct flavors , one is based on a minimal Debian base, and the other is based on a lightweight Ubuntu base.
A few days back, Armbian 23.11 was released with many changes and improvements. Let's take a brief look at the new changes.
Armbian 23.11 “Topi”: What's New?
Dubbed by the developers as a “ pretty special ” version, Armbian 23.11, code-named “ Topi ” is meant to be the result of a decade worth of work that has made Armbian a popular choice for SBC tinkerers.
Let's start with the key highlights of this release:
For starters, the Armbian support policy tiers have been tweaked to reflect better reliability and assistance for boards. The three tiers are:
- Standard Support , where boards will receive full and consistent support.
- Staging Support , this is tailored for boards that are undergoing support validation.
- Community Maintained , these boards depend on the wider community for maintenance.
Under this, four new boards were added to the Standard Support tier ; Khadas VIM1S, Khadas VIM4, Texas Instruments TDA4VM, and Xiaomi Pad 5 Pro.
Additionally, support was also added for boards such as the NanoPi R6S/R6C, Mekotronics R58X-Pro, Inovato Quadra, and Tanix TX6.
On the user-facing side of things, various fixes were made to the display managers across all the desktops, inclusion of a mainline kernel for Rockchip RK3588 with experimental HDMI and EDK2/UEFI support.
Furthermore, the edge kernel offering of Armbian now features Linux Kernel 6.6, and features new Armbian wallpapers. There are also a few bug fixes to improve hardware support for existing boards , fix display output issues , handle compilation issues for various kernels , and more.
You may go through the official blog to dive into the fine print of this release.
