Purpose of This Repository

The Armbian Linux Build Framework creates minimal, efficient, and fully customizable operating system images based on Debian or Ubuntu. It is designed specifically for low-resource single board computers (SBCs) and other embedded devices.

This toolchain compiles a custom Linux kernel, bootloader, and root filesystem, providing fine-grained control over:

  • Kernel versions and configuration
  • Bootloader selection and customization
  • Filesystem layout and compression
  • Additional firmware, overlays, and device trees
  • System optimizations for performance and size

The framework supports native, cross, and containerized builds for multiple architectures (x86_64, aarch64, armhf, riscv64), and is suitable for development, testing, production deployment, or automation pipelines.

It ensures consistency across devices while remaining modular and extensible through a variety of configuration files, templates, and user patches.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/armbian/build
cd build
./compile.sh
