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
