<Armbian-Discord> <r​dr3e> Could anyone explain to me what's the difference between sunxi64 and sun50iw9? I'm a bit confused with Allwinner's naming convention. I'm browsing through the linux-orangepi and I'm not sure which branch I should use to compile the kernel designed for Orange Pi Zero 2 machine
<Armbian-Discord> <W​erner> sunxi64 is whole family of Allwinner 64bit SoCs. sun50iw9 the codename for H616. For example sun50iw1 is for H5 SoC. sun50iw6 is H6 I think
<Armbian-Discord> <r​dr3e> Ok I get it now, thanks
<Armbian-Discord> <W​erner> welcome
<Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> I have the bigtreetech rpi4 board + CB1 and used their image from their website. From the info I was able to gather:
<Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> kernel 5.16.17-sun50iw9
<Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> dtb sun50i-h616-biqu.dtb
<Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> What options/board do I choose from the armbian builder menu to have the most up to date armbian image?
<Armbian-Discord> <T​heBug> If your using cb1 with a 3d printer you should get their actual image as my understanding is they make some tweaks - armbian may work using a similar image for same soc, however it won't likely have the same dvfs tables and such done likely to help cb1 not overheat without heatsink
<Armbian-Discord> <T​heBug> If you instead plan to use the board separate, I would look up which board has similar SoC and test the image to see how close and / or I would search on the forum to see if anyone has produced a custom image for it in the community.
<Armbian-Discord> <T​heBug> Also I would make sure to add a heatsink on it at minimum if you don't have some type of cooling.
<Armbian-Discord> <s​repac> my plan is to try and use the rpi4/cb1 board as a pikvm alternative
