| Ubuntu Noble 24.11.1 GNOME Testing: | Rolling Release (25.2.x) Testing: |
|---|---|
|
|
- Images here are for 5B, for model 5A can be found here.
- Some eMMC devices are broken on 5A
- PD is broken for the 5B model (background) on most revisions that are in the wild and is causing boot loop. Workaround is to use a stupid / fixed 5-24 volts USB-C power supply.
- Installation to NVME or USB is done via standard armbian install utility (
sudo armbian-install). Make sure to generate partitions and format them before start.

Check or update before upgrade!
- On your board, edit the file
/boot/armbianEnv.txt: Find the linefdtfile="rockchip/rk3588-nanopc-cm3588-nas.dtb"and replace this line withfdtfile="rockchip/rk3588-friendlyelec-cm3588-nas.dtb", DO NOT REBOOT YET - Update your kernel as usual.
You only have to do this once, and only on existing installations. New installations and further update will not need any manual intervention.
(video instructions were not done by Armbian team, but it might help you get going)
If you are having a NanoPi R6C variant, replace fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588s-nanopi-r6s.dtb in /boot/armbianEnv.txt with fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588s-nanopi-r6c.dtb
