armbian 22.05 adds support for more motherboards, among other changes

22.05

After v22.02 from last February, the project behind this Debian-based operating system for ARM chip devices has released 22.05. To be totally honest, it's one of the few operating systems I haven't tested on my Raspberry Pi, so I can't say much about its performance or features. If I can report new releases, of course, like the one announced less than 24 hours ago.

Being an operating system for ARM devices, one of the things it has to do well, or at least do, is run on simple boards, and armbian 22.05 has added support for several of them. For example, it now supports the Orange Pi R1+ LTS, Orange Pi 3 LTS, Radxa Rock 3A and Zero, and ClockworkPi DevTerm A06.

armbian 22.05 supports Linux 5.17

In addition to supporting more boards, support for others such as the Orange Pi Zero 2, Odroid N2, Tinker Board, Allwinner A20, and Alwinner H5 has been improved. The RK3328 has been enhanced to work with Linux 5.10, support for SATA on Banana boards has been corrected, support for Marvell A3700 family devices has been improved, and the temperature management in the Jetson Nano Developer Kit.

Among other news, armbian 22.05 supports Linux 5.17, the penultimate version of the Linux kernel, in the mvebus64 and UEFI Edge flavors, supports running 64-bit applications and the NVIDIA driver on x86 images. Support for the GNOME and Budgie desktops as well as the Chromium browser on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS-based images has also been improved. Furthermore, the Realtek RTL8822Bs driver is more reliable, a flickering issue for HDMI output has been fixed, and Docker support has been improved.
