I was browsing web to buy a SBC of 4GB ram, wifi, ethernet port. I got similar boards like raspi 4 and 5. Comparing the cost, this seemed better. But it was released just a year back and not sure to buy it. So , this is the topic to share opinion of RADXA ROCK 2A user. Kindly share your opinion about it consists of pros and cons. Also, pls say me whether it is supporting ubuntu server and desktop version 20 and above. Thanks in Advance
Radxa rock 2a review from users
Using armbian you can build and install any recent Ubuntu or Debian version.
Hey mate, good on you for doing the research. The ROCK 2A looks solid on paper, but honestly, I’d recommend going with a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5. They’ve got a massive community, great software support, and everything just works – especially with Ubuntu Server/Desktop 20+.
With Radxa boards, heaps of people have run into boot issues, eMMC problems, and patchy support. Can be a real headache if you’re not keen on fiddling around.
If you want something reliable and well-supported, you really can’t go wrong with a Pi.
Cheers!
Is current version working for You currently?
after recent update three instances throws this:
I created yet another vm and retry, same result, just curious what and where is something wrong now 
We don’t know yet, but running this before
sudo ./compile.sh requirements
is a possible workaround.
Which image were you trying to build? I once had to wipe the whole build/ directory and repull armbian to get it working again.
I’ll try this too, Mr. @Armbian
Any known and described issue?
Nothing changed 
I tried several sbcs and their configs, all ends with same error
Already tested that, this is easier than to revert/stage few changes and customisations
So I have it on plain fresh git pull, on both debian and ubuntu
just curious if anybody else managed to get same error now…
I have no such issues, compiling armbian for Rock 2F works for me.
Ok, thanks for answer, I’ll give it a try yet again.
Probably this commit broke it:
quick fix is just to comment out var: APT_SIGNING_KEY_FILE
or chroot ln line
should compile requirement some generate key?
