Neo_overlay_Bullseye_20250404.img

This is an overlay of 2023 buster build. The overlay adds all the new code features but uses the older base code. This is to avoid the issue of incompatible device drivers that are now found in the later code modules.

2024-10-11-Armbian24.8.4

NEO_20230816

NEO release based on Armbian 21.08.1 Bullseye. Includes improvements in home screen icons. Boot time at first power on about 7:15 (includes file system expansion and initial wifi configuration). Subsequent boots about 35 seconds to OLED screen, 1:15 to wifi AP active.

CM4_20230816

CM4 release based on Raspios Buster. Includes improvements in home screen icons. Boot time at first power on about 5:30 (includes file system expansion and initial wifi configuration). Subsequent boots about 25 seconds to OLED screen, 1:25 to wifi AP active.

RM3_20230827

This image is for a ConnectBox running on the radxa CM3 board platform.
This release is based on the ConnectBox-pi/CM3-Radxa-OS-Bases/radxa-bullseye-cli-031723/radxa-bullseye-cli-031723.img.xz base image. The main difference between this and the previous release (RM3_20230824) is that this image is that this image is cli based and therefore has no desktop.
This image is being issued with pre-release status for testing purposes.

RM3_20230824

RockPi (Radxa) CM3 release based on radxa-cm3-io-debian-bullseye-xfce4-arm64-20230317-0810-gpt.img base. This image is being issued as a pre-release for testing purposes.

RM3_20230809

Release for Rock Pi CM3 board. Published as pre release for testing...

CM4_20230814

CM4 based on Raspios Buster and latest GitHub sources. Published as Pre-Release for testing.

RPi3B+_071723

Release based on 2022-01-28 raspios Buster and built on RPi3B+ target. This release incorporates improvements to the PxUSBm.py script, greatly reducing boot time. Immediately after burning this image, expect boot times to final login prompt of about 4 minutes as the processor handles disk resizing tasks. Subsequent boots will be in the 25 second range from power on to login prompt. This processor will often swap wlan numeric assignments which must be handled by the boot process. If such a swap is made, the AP (Access Point... ie, the SSID of the ConnectBox) will take about 2 minutes after power on to become active. If such a swap is not made, the AP will become active at about 45 seconds after power on is initiated.

RPi3B+_071923

This release is based on 2022-01-28 raspios Buster and was built on the RPi 3B+ target. It has been tested on RPi-3B+ and RPi ZeroW platforms. (Note: While this code will run on an RPi ZeroW, performance is very poor, and we do not recommend its use.)

This release incorporates code that will indicate that the AP is active by illuminating an LED + series resistor (typ 470 ohms) between 3.3v (pin 1) and GPIO6 (pin 31) of the RPi GPIO header. (Note: anode of the LED connected toward 3.3V.)

It is being published in pre-release status for testing.
