General

Hi, I would like instructions on how to install and run armbian image on Axon.
Both, a lightweight server image and a desktop image, would be awesome.

Axon : Armbian Gnome Desktop :arrow_down_small:

Simply dd image into SD Card stroge :

SD Card image : Armbian_25.8.2_noble_current_6.1.75-axon_gnome_desktop

dd command :

sudo dd if=<Armbian_image.img> of=/dev/<device> status=progress; sync

You can also flash using Balena Etcher.

Setup

  1. Connect HDMI Display.
  2. Press continuously Ctrl + Q to interrupt the boot process while vicharak shows on display, and you will get uboot console, then select the SD card as the default boot configuration.
  3. Then, every time you reboot the system device will be booted from SD card.

Will provide minimal image as well.

Thanks! Testing it now and looking forward to the minimal image.

Thanks for the images. These work on SD card but not on emmc. I’m planning to have a server running continuously using Armbian so I need it to work on emmc.
I tried armbian-install and the command succeeded but the board fails to boot. Likely Uboot issue.

I have not checked, but you can try it by flashing using method below.

  1. Download loader
  2. Linux Upgrade Tool (upgrade_tool) | Vicharak
