It is available already from Radxa: https://wiki.radxa.com/Rock5/downloads
Although I would recommend using Armbian Jammy instead (it is based on ubuntu 22.04).
Sorry guys, but radxa is only offering 20.04 which is supported by ROS2 humble only as Tier3.
Tier 1 platforms are subjected to our unit test suite and other testing tools on a frequent basis including continuous integration jobs, nightly jobs, packaging jobs, and performance testing. Errors or bugs discovered in these platforms are prioritized for correction by the development team. Significant errors discovered in Tier 1 platforms can impact release dates and we strive to resolve all known high priority errors in Tier 1 platforms prior to new version releases.
whereas:
Tier 3 platforms are those for which community reports indicate that the release is functional. The development team does not run the unit test suite or perform any other tests on platforms in Tier 3.
Has anybody tested armbian jammy with ROS2 humble?
You are right. It’s 20.04. But don’t expect Radxa to release up to date operating systems. They are more of a hardware than software company. Third party is the way to go.
I don’t know anything about ROS2 but it seems to be connected to robotics, so why not just try it as you’re tinkerers anyway.
Mainline kernel support might appear with kernel 6.2 at the earliest.

But it will take another year before it will be really usable.
