Enable the PCIe Gen2x1 controller and combo PHY on the NanoPi Zero2 to support the M.2 Key-E 2230 slot used for WiFi/BT cards (e.g. Intel AX210). The reset GPIO (gpio1 RK_PA2) and pinctrl (pciem1_pins) match the vendor kernel device tree. Note: Intel AX210 requires iwlwifi firmware >= v89 (iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-89.ucode) which may not be included in minimal images. Install linux-firmware or armbian-firmware-full if needed. Firmware available at: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/ Tested on hardware with Intel AX210 on kernel 6.18 (current branch). |

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.
