Address CodeRabbit review: - Fail loud if drivers/staging/fsl_qbman is absent after the 005 SDK overlay. The post-patch wiring is the only registration path once patch 110's staging hunks are stripped, so a silently-skipped wiring would ship a kernel with no SDK QBMan driver and no error. - Force the SDK DPAA/FMan stack (FSL_SDK_FMAN/BMAN/QMAN) explicitly on, and the competing mainline FSL_FMAN off, via the kernel config opts arrays, instead of relying on Kconfig defaults. ASK_CDX depends on FSL_SDK_FMAN (which requires !FSL_FMAN); if a future mainline enabled FSL_FMAN by default, olddefconfig would silently drop ASK_CDX and a non-offloading kernel would build green. Mainline FSL_DPAA_ETH depends on FSL_FMAN, so disabling FSL_FMAN keeps it off transitively.
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.
