March 2025 was focused on stabilizing boot paths, hardening security, and improving automation across Armbian builds. Key work targeted mksklipad50 on U-Boot 2025.01, security boot integration, boot-time debugging, and DT/overlay enhancements, alongside automation reliability improvements in the build system.

February 2025 — Armbian build repo: focus on delivering CLI-focused image builds for MKS KLIPAD50, simplifying board configuration, and stabilizing Wi-Fi setup on minimal images. Key improvements include introducing an edge-kernel device-tree, standardizing configuration files for maintainability, and fixing the first-login Wi-Fi scan to work without NetworkManager. These changes reduce build complexity, accelerate release cycles, and improve out-of-the-box hardware support for headless deployments.

January 2025 performance: Delivered foundational MKSKLIPAD50 board support with initial hardware initialization, established a testing pathway for the End1 network adapter on RK3328, and stabilized the video subsystem to ensure reliable /dev/video and v4l2 availability on RK3328-based boards. These changes reduce time-to-deploy hardware bring-up and expand testing coverage across RK3328 platforms.
