-To see if an SBC of interest is supported by Armbian, visit the [[https://www.armbian.com/download/|Armbian Download Page]]:\\
+A list of images, for your particular SBC can be found in the -> [[https://armbian.lv.auroradev.org/archive/|Armbian Archive]].   Find your SBC on the archive page, select it and drill down to the images page.  Scroll to the bottom of the images page, looking for the latest, small, Bullseye image.  (Typically the smaller sized image files are "CLI" or "Minimal".  This may be difficult to see as image names are shorted.  Verify "CLI" or "Minimal" as the image is downloading.)

+  * Focal, Hirsute, Jammy, other variants, and Bullseye images with desktops are **not** supported.
-  * **Suitable For Testing** , “**WIP**” (Work in Progress), and **No Official Support** Bullseye images may work, but things may be broken.  Use of these images is at the user's risk.  These images could be considered to be in “BETA” state.  Problems are to be expected.
-  * Use of **End of Support (EOS)** images is discouraged.  The state of the OS is undetermined and it may not update normally. The install process may fail or, if the installation is successful, OMV may be (or become) unstable.  Again, use of **EOS** images is at the user's risk.
-  * Use of any of the above image classes is not supported.

+**Important - The location for image downloads has been moved to Armbian's Archive.**
-  * On the [[https://www.armbian.com/download/|Armbian device page]], select the appropriate SBC and scroll down to the **Other Supported Variants** section for your device.
+  * On the [[http://xogium.performanceservers.nl/archive/|The Armbian Image Archive Page]], scroll down through the page.  Open the folder for the appropriate model of SBC and select a **Bullseye Current Minimal** image. Older Bullseye images are fine.  They will be updated in processes following.
-  * For best possible compatibility, when selecting an [[https://www.armbian.com/download/|Armbian image to download]], select an Armbian **Bullseye** image that's branded "CLI" or **Bullseye** Minimal image for your device.
+  * While image names may be appended in the archive, the smaller of the available __image__ files tend to be "Minimal" or "CLI".  Look for Minimal or CLI in the image name as it downloads.  If a mistake is made, cancel the download and try again.
-  * To find the appropriate image, it may be necessary to scroll to the bottom of the Armbian device page and click on the link to **Archived Versions**.  (Scroll to the bottom of the archived images page and select the latest Bullseye Minimal or CLI version.)
+  * In a similar manner, directly under the downloaded image, look for a file with a **sha** file extension.  The sha hash withing that file will be used to verify the image as noted below.
-(Due to the potential for package conflicts, an image with **a desktop is __not__ supported**. Lastly, Bionic, Focal, Jammy, Bookworm etc., images will not work with OMV6.)
