What Does Community Support Mean?
Community maintained targets have full featured Armbian OS support but lack quality control imposed by Armbian standard support criteria. Boards are supported / maintained at least on the level of 3rd party Linux distributions. They are maintained (or not maintained) by community members (like you). These builds are provided by the Armbian project as a service to the community. They are automatically generated and untested.
What you can do to help lifting support status?
- support users of this board in our forums
- stand up as a maintainer and start maintaining the board
- provide tests results prior to point release and propose lifting support status
- PCIe port is not supported: Allwinner H6 has a quirky PCIe controller that doesn’t map the PCIe address space properly to CPU, and accessing the PCIe config space, IO space or memory space will need to be wrapped. As Linux doesn’t wrap PCIe memory space access, it’s not possible to do a proper PCIe controller driver for H6. The BSP kernel modifies the driver to wrap the access, so it’s also not generic, and only devices with modified driver will work. Armbian does not support BSP based kernels. You can find more information here and here.
Fast, verified download & flash (recommended)
Armbian Imager is a lightweight, native flashing tool that supports both selecting and downloading an Armbian image before flashing, as well as flashing an already downloaded image.
