The single arm64 rpi4b image boots every 64-bit Pi, but the first-boot hostname map only recognised four models; the rest kept the generic rpi4b hostname. Expand it to the whole 64-bit lineup (Pi 3B+ onward) using the authoritative model strings from the upstream Raspberry Pi kernel device trees, and switch from sequential [[ ]] tests to an ordered case so more specific names win (e.g. "Model B+" over "Model B", "Pi 500" over "Pi 5", "Compute Module 4S" over "Compute Module 4"). Covered: 3A+, 3B+, 3B, 4B, 400, 5, 500, Zero 2 W, and Compute Module 3/4/4S/5/5 Lite (Compute Modules matched by SoM substring since the reported string comes from the carrier board). 32-bit-only and pre-3B models are intentionally excluded and keep the default hostname.

Purpose of This Repository
The Armbian Linux Build Framework creates customizable OS images based on Debian or Ubuntu for single-board computers (SBCs) and embedded devices.
It builds a complete Linux system including kernel, bootloader, and root filesystem, giving you control over versions, configuration, firmware, device trees, and system optimizations.
The framework supports native, cross, and containerized builds for multiple architectures (x86_64, aarch64, armhf, riscv64) and is suitable for development, testing, production, or automation.
Looking for prebuilt images? Use Armbian Imager — the easiest way to download and flash Armbian to your SD card or USB drive. Available for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Quick Start
git clone https://github.com/armbian/build
