| This guide was written to avoid as many installation pitfalls as is possible to anticipate or predict. With that in mind, please adhere to this guide without deviating in any significant way. Specifically, that means DO NOT preconfigure wireless networking (that will be covered later - after OMV is installed), or use armbian-config prior to the installation of OMV. Once the OMV installation is complete, and after backing the OS' SD-card → <a href="https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv7:utilities_maint_backup#cloning_flash_media" target="_blank">Cloning Flash Media</a>, additional configuration or experimentation will be possible without losing the install if something goes awry. | This guide was written to avoid as many installation pitfalls as is possible to anticipate or predict.

| Further, before selecting a Bookworm image, note that Armbian supports devices with differing levels of support. See -> [[https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Board-Support-Rules/|this page]] for an explanation of the different support levels. Devices with "Standard support" or "Community support" images are acceptable. While **Staging - Work in progress** images may work, they are not supported and are used at the users risk. | Further, before selecting a Bookworm image, note that Armbian supports devices with differing levels of support.
