Just a week ago, when I was editing the video, the Rock 5 wasn't yet listed on Armbian's website (now it is: https://www.armbian.com/rock-5b/ https://www.armbian.com/rock-5b/).
Until very recently, the Rock 5 was only supported by more bleeding edge builds and I tend to stick to more stable images when I'm reviewing a board—especially the builds that come recommended by the vendor themselves.
- rcarmo 4y agoYeah, I was wondering about that. I haven’t checked the Armbian reference kernels, but they might fix some of your build issues. But it was good to see you confirm one of my red flags about the board: I have been looking for a good board to run https://github.com/pimox/pimox7 https://github.com/pimox/pimox7 (I currently use my Pi 4 8GB for that, hosting a bunch of test LXC containers), and something faster that could boot off an NVME without hassle would be great. Looks like the Rock 5B isn’t it.
