I-Karmbian igama elinikezwe le phrojekthi entsha yokusabalalisa ngokususelwa kuKali Linux naku-Armbian. Okusho ukuthi, ngakolunye uhlangothi ihlanganisa okuhle kwe-distro eyenzelwe ukwenza ukuhlolwa kwezokuphepha, ukugqekeza ngokuziphatha, noma ukuphoqa. Iphrojekthi eyaziwayo esungulwe futhi yanakekelwa yi-Offensive Security Ltd. Futhi ngakolunye uhlangothi isebenzisa leyo projekthi yohlelo lokusebenza eyenzelwe ngokukhethekile amabhodi wokuthuthukisa i-ARM. Ngamanye amagama, iKarmbian iyiKali Linux eyakha isebenzisa i-Armbian Tool Chain ne-BSP (Broad Support Package).
Ekugcineni, umphumela uyiKarmbian, i-distro yokuhlwaya engasebenza mayelana namadivayisi we-ARM. Isibonelo, ungayifaka ku-SBC Raspberry Pi yakho, noma ku-ROCK64, Ordoid N2, kuma-laptops afana ne-PineBook Pro, nokude njll. Yize kuliqiniso ukuthi uma ufuna ukusebenzisa i-Kali Linux kuma-chip e-ARM bekuvele kungenzeka ngenxa yezithombe ezikhona Iwebhusayithi esemthethweni Yezokuphepha Ehlaselayo.
Noma kunjalo, akukaze kube buhlungu wazi ezinye izindlela namaphrojekthi amaningi afana nalawa I-Karmbian. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kufanele wazi ukuthi iKarmbian inokwesekwa kwebhodi le-Raspberry Pi 4, nabo bonke labo abasekelwa yi-Armbian, kanye nokwenzelwe ama-chips we-Rockchip RK3399.
I-Karmbian inezinombolo eziningi ze- izithombe ezitholakalayo okwakho landa mahhala kusuka kusayithi labo ku-GitHub enguqulweni yayo yeKarmbian 2020.08 (yamanje ngesikhathi sokubhala le ndatshana). Noma okwamanje kunamadivayisi we-ARM ambalwa asekelwa ngokusemthethweni, onjiniyela bawo bathembisa ukwengeza amanye kancane kancane.
