🚀 Armbian Imager v2.5 is out!
Headless setup made easier! Configure networking, users, SSH keys, language and time zone before flashing, with instant validation to catch mistakes early.
Safer flashing, better errors, new Settings page, and 🇬🇷 Greek & 🇷🇸 Serbian support (20 languages!).
Free & open source for Linux, macOS and Windows.

This week's development centers on expanded board support and vendor kernel work, mainline kernel progression to 7.3 with CI resilience improvements, and a substantial refresh of the Armbian Imager. https://blog.armbian.com/github-highlights-46/

The state of automated testing at Armbian.
65 boards. 22 vendors. 20 SoC families. Booted and tested on real hardware, every night. Warm reboots, cold boots, kernel switching, networking, performance and power measurements. And the next step: moving hardware validation from nightly builds directly into pull requests.
A look inside the infrastructure behind it: https://blog.armbian.com/booting-every-board-every-night/

Armbian v26.8 is out.
Rewritten installer, now an armbian-config module — SPI and MTD targets, separate eMMC and NVMe flows, and it tells you when a bootloader write fails instead of printing "Done."
Imager 2.0 with QDL and UFS flashing. UEFI images build straight to bootable ISOs.
Kernel 7.1 across the tree, U-Boot 2026.07, twenty-odd new boards, 787 pull requests.

Not the same. We divide supported hardware into "platinum / standard support", where status is known as there is a person behind keeping hardware in good shape and everything else, labelled as "community maintained". Where support is unknown, incomplete or broken. Further then theoretical "our OS supports everything". https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/

Primary benefit of Armbian is its advanced hardware-agnostic assembly process (rpi just released their rpi-gen v1.0, we are focusing 10+ years into this and not limited to one hardware platform). At the user-space level - it is (polished and optimised) Debian or Ubuntu-based OS, so it looks like Raspbian, but (more general purpose) config tool / software installer is way ahead too.
