The Armbian 22.05 Linux distribution has been released, providing a compact system environment for various ARM-based single board computers, including various models of Raspberry Pi, Odroid, Orange Pi, Banana Pi, Helios64, pine64, Nanopi and Cubieboard based on Allwinner, Amlogic, Actionsemi processors , Freescale / NXP, Marvell Armada, Rockchip, Radxa and Samsung Exynos.
The Debian and Ubuntu package bases are used to form the builds, but the environment is completely rebuilt using its own build system with the inclusion of optimizations to reduce the size, increase performance and apply additional protection mechanisms. For example, the /var/log partition is mounted using zram and stored in RAM in compressed form, flushed to the drive once a day or at shutdown. The /tmp partition is mounted using tmpfs. The project supports more than 30 Linux kernel builds for various ARM and ARM64 platforms.
Features of the release:
- Added support for DevTerm A06, Orange Pi R1+ LTS, Radxa Rock 3A and Radxa Zero boards.
- Maintainers have been found and work has begun to support the ESPRESSObin and Radxa Rock Pi 4 boards.
- The packages are in sync with the Debian 11 repositories. Alternative builds have been prepared based on the upcoming Ubuntu 22.10 release.
- Additional work has been done to test and improve the stability of assemblies for various boards.
