Ricardo Pardini 230f937d4b extensions/mtkflash: Mediatek mtk-flash direct flashing after build 
- similar to `rkdevflash`, but for Mediatek devices
- also simpler; lk.bin & fip.img are produced by image build and directly used
- requires Rust+Cargo, so add those to hostdeps
  - since this is a core extension, those will be included in all Docker images too
  - which was bound to happen anyway since Rust in Linux Kernel is no longer an experiment
- extensions/mtkflash: sha1-based bin path, use fork & add `--no-erase-boot1`
- example invocation:
  - `BOARD=radxa-nio-12l BRANCH=collabora RELEASE=trixie EXT=ufs,mtkflash MTKFLASH_TTYACM_DEVICE=1`

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
cd build
./compile.sh
