Whom are you thanking? @Googulator or @igorp?
You know where ‘the hard work’ happened, right? Hint: it was not over at Armbian but here…
Armbian images are now available for Rock 5b!

How about everyone working on project! It takes a team of effort from multiple walks of SBC life with multiple skills and inputs, as well as public facing people/intities to build and keep project motivation.
Don’t poopoo someone else because they are not doing what you think is the “real” hard work. We NEED ALL the pegs.

To be credible you need to be involved. Testing, measuring and hunting bugs is important too, but its something entirely different. Its mainly done by automation. Once you build it, hard work becomes maintaining it.
Armbian developers are involved into this and as it should be clear, nobody claimed anything - its just a picture of test run and a link to the image that was put together after many many unsuccessful attempts. Thank you for helping educating users. Less disrespectful way would cost you more?
You must have mixed us with people who actually claims board bring up and even removing © from other peoples work on doing no / cosmetic changes to the code. Armbian developers don’t do that.
Hardest and most boring work is anyway keeping this operational and dealing with endless bugs and complains users will come up with years to come. In most cases in exchange for nothing, not even compliment as “developers duty is to keep devices functional, however they can”.

Candidly this absolutely shouldn’t have a formal release and only as a user-beware experimental image.
The @Googulator midstream kernel is called midstream for a reason. One should view it as carrying the similar security/performance/stability risks/uncertainties as the BSP kernel, but it’s just much closer to mainline in its heritage.
hello. what brand of nvme disk are you using?
Hi there,
I’m testing “https://github.com/armbian/os/releases/download/23.05.0.0070/Armbian_23.05.0.0070_Rock-5b_lunar_midstream_6.2.0-rc1_minimal.img.xz”.
I like this image. For example KDE with Wayland is working fine. But 2 points are missing a) no sound via headphone barrel b) no WLAN is working

@lanefu maybe you’ve more luck explaining to Igor why he should give credit to @Googulator (and to Rockchip and Collabora folks if we want to be fair) when you guys rely completely on someone else’s work. But I know this would be to no avail since Igor always tries to create the impression work would only happen over at Armbian so he can ask for more cash…
Anyway in case any of these famous ‘Armbian developers’ want to help please take at look here: https://github.com/Googulator/linux-rk3588-midstream/issues/3
In case it’s over your head then please simply run sbc-bench -r with Sebastian Reichelt’s settings and then with my tweaked https://transfer.sh/bt4FdB/rk3588-rock-5b-BSP-OPP-tables.dts replacing /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588-rock-5b.dtb:
cp -p /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588-rock-5b.dtb /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588-rock-5b.dtb.bak
dtc -I dts -O dtb -o /boot/dtb/rockchip/rk3588-rock-5b.dtb /path/to/rk3588-rock-5b-BSP-OPP-tables.dts
BTW: sbc-bench can be updated in place with -u.
Ofc. Their work function perfectly since start, its well maintained and it has no bugs. Grow up.
Dear “customer”, thank you for your input. This year probably not, perhaps next. Problems you have kindly complained about 4,3,2 … years ago hasn’t been resolved yet. You always forget about something.
@GinKage now you maybe know what the real problem is. I guess at the same time he started to babble about ‘leadership’ few years ago it really started to get difficult being part of his moronic project any longer… and by ‘his project’ I’m not talking about Armbian and the contributors but the way Igor’s doing all those moronic Igor things.
Hard work with a lot of responsibility, stress and little to no reward. Who would blame you if you want to go away? Project is defined by many people, just look without filter.
So much armbian love in this thread…

People quit caused by your moronic behaviour and nothing else. Especially you mixing up your commercial ties and ‘open source project’ you constantly babble about. And ofc your ‘ticks’ leading to you updating bootloader packages bricking devices for no other reasons you not knowing how to spell ‘responsibility’.
Same with security. Igor’s Armbian now tries to advertise itself as ‘operating system’ (overwriting /etc/os-release with random BS) while the very same Igor still favours to introduce stupid security vulnerabilities just for fun because the beautiful way his brain works he’s not even able to understand the difference between him doing whatever strikes his head and a team of security pros working full-time at the projects he relies on -> Debian/Ubuntu have both their security and kernel teams who would fire Igor within 0.1 seconds)
I fortunately managed to get unlisted here https://github.com/armbian/build/graphs/contributors but according to git log Ricardo only recently ‘outperformed’ me by count of commits [1]. What or who is the reason N°2 contributor (Mikhail still being the most important IMO especially since he chose the role to clean up after all the mess you constantly created within Armbian) has also quit? Maybe also you?
But unlike you Ricardo (and Paolo, Jianfeng and few others) really contribute to ‘Android e-waste devices being usable with Linux’.

You sure are big on yourself… Does it make you feel better about yourself by throwing others under the bus? The measure of a person does not come as a comparison to someone else or what someone else does, but in the content of their character.

@DarkevilPT i dont have any bone to pick in this fight but i think @tkaiser points as very valid more than most of the users here (not specificly on armbian things where this drama is going on but in general about technical insights), i personally don’t mind about the presentation at all :). There is a certain risk of being lost in the echoes of ourselves in this woke 21 century. If someone is constantly complaining about something it means that he has not given up on it. Yet… So why lose the valid inputs in exchange of being politically correct?
EDIT: classical typos of mine 
Boogie Boogie I know he is right I agree with him 100%.
This is not exclusivity to armbian… in the world of bussiness many of these charismatic issues happen.
Suffice to say that no matter who is right or wrong this leads to nothing because deep down armbian wont change their ways and theres always arguments that save both sides…
So yes whats said is said… for common knowledge but Its enough guys… Go have a pint play some futebol.

One or two in 10 years is pretty good achievement. My moronic behaviour is pretty logical response to the constant attack and abuse from general population and especially people like you. People that doesn’t accept “no” as an answer.
It is very difficult to turn people down (while they have urge) and it is very expensive to turn them down politely as you don’t want that this support harassment becomes full time job. “Here is a price list” is the cheapest method to tell you “we have no resources, there is nothing we can do, you will never cover expenses once they will be presented so we have no interest working with you - we can’t pay for the damages you will do to the project, go away, …”.
Since “customers” cover less then 1% of expenses we have little options. This money you are talking about, from vendors, that is worse source you can imagine. Deals from years ago are unpaid and some bills are ignored even contracts were made. Business behind is dirty but of why would any predator care about? if “customer” demands something, we can provide a hired person for them … as only alternative. Not many people like to contribute just for fun, especially as this is hard work.
Grow up!
This is is something you can never pin on me or anyone that works in open source. Deal with security on your own if you are not satisfied with free-for-you version.
It has been around 4 years that boot loader is manually updated, but yeah, if amateur financed project doesn’t provide good enough result, fork it and do whatever you want.
Developers sends out updates, testers like you, rare. If service is not good enough, you need to invest more into it instead of bullying people. By addressing to other projects, you are stealing time, resources and value. If you do that, you have to be respective. Attacking and bullying probably never is …
Armbian never had a single full-time nor amateur security pro. Why in last 10 years didn’t you use professional made software if it was that better? Why you are using Armbian and why you are so complaining on quality which you never deserved? You don’t respect anyone.
In your world, some 5-6 years ago? Perhaps. Now stop living in the past? Many people played important role in Armbian, even you, when you have moments of normality.
Git commit is not the only contribution there is.
