Standard support

The TMDS62LEVM evaluation module (EVM) is designed for low-cost & performance optimized AM62L family of application processors. The AM62L has scalable Arm® Cortex®-A53 core performance and embedded features such as: Multimedia DSI support, integrated ADC on chip, advanced lower power management modes, and extensive security options for IP protection and secure boot. The AM62L family of devices supports development with Linux® and FreeRTOS™. The TMDS62LEVM includes an extensive set of peripherals that make it a well-suited general-purpose device for a broad range of industrial applications while offering intelligent features and optimized power architecture as well. In addition, the extensive set of peripherals included in the AM62L enables systemlevel connectivity, such as: USB, MMC/SD, OSPI, CAN-FD and an ADC and other interfaces to facilitate easy prototyping. Additionally, it features two on-board temperature sensors for monitoring SoC and LPDDR4 thermal conditions.

After you download and boot?

Basic OS configuration is conducted at first boot. You are asked to set a root password, normal user and confirm your, automatically determined, language settings. If your hardware has internal media, you might want to transfer your OS to it. You can also choose to configure your OS first, setup applications, enable services and install to internal media later.

Simple

BASH or ZSH shell, standard Debian/Ubuntu utilities. Features can be adjusted with menu-driven utility. Login is possible via serial, HDMI or SSH.

Universal

Minimal, server or Desktop. We work with XFCE, Gnome and Cinnamon but more is possible to build: Mate, KDE, Budgie, Deepin, i3, …

Light

No bloatware or spyware. Special utilities are completely optional. Suitable for newcomers and professionals.

Optimized

Distributed images are optimized for flash media (SD/eMMC/SSD) and compacted to real data size.

Fast

Armbian is optimized on kernel and userspace level. ZRAM & ZSWAP support, browser profile memory caching, garbage commit delay.

Secure

Security level can be adjusted with the armbian-config. OS is reviewed by professionals within the community.

Supported

Maintainers and community have deep understanding how HW work. We are seniors with 30+ years of experience in Linux + embedded Linux.

Open

Armbian provides open source build framework to build a distribution of optimised Linux hardware interface for armhf, aarch64 and x86.

We provide a selection of images that fits hardware best. If you need different image – use build framework and make whatever you need. Build framework relies on Debian and Ubuntu packages – you can build any combination – stable, old stable or rolling release.

Minimal images have very small footprint. They come only with essential packages and build-in systemd-networkd while CLI server images have Network Manager based networking, armbian-config utilities, option to select ZSH as default shell.

Make sure you have a good & reliable boot media (SD card / USB key) and a proper power supply. Archives can be flashed with Etcher (all OS) directly.

Insert the SD card into the slot, connect a cable to your network if possible or a display and power your board. (First) boot (with DHCP) takes a bit longer.

Support is provided in one of two ways:

Rolling releases images with Armbian Linux v6.12

Build Date: Nov 22, 2025

Distro Variant User space Kernel Torrent Integrity Size
 
Debian 14 (Forky) Minimal / IOT rolling 6.12.43 SHA  ASC 298.7 MB
Ubuntu 25.04 (Plucky) Minimal / IOT rolling 6.12.43 SHA  ASC 275.8 MB


* The torrent option is recommended, as it will likely maximize your download connection speed.


Rolling releases are suitable for Linux enthusiasts who want cutting edge packages and have the skills to fix damage that a bad update might cause. If you want stability in a production environment or low headaches as a novice user, skip rolling releases. They are only at, build and ship, Debian testing / Arch / Manjaro / Suse Tumbleweed / Kali / Gentoo support quality level!
