1. User selects board, kernel version, release (Jammy, Bookworm, etc.) 2. Framework fetches: - Upstream kernel (or vendor BSP kernel) - U‑Boot for the board - Rootfs from debootstrap (arm64/armhf) 3. Applies hundreds of board‑specific patches (DRM, USB, Ethernet, audio codecs) 4. Cross‑compiles kernel, modules, U‑Boot 5. Creates chroot rootfs, installs kernel + modules, applies Armbian tweaks - armbian-firstlogin service - zram, log2ram, cpufrequtils - RTC, I2C, SPI overlays via `armbian-config` 6. Generates raw image with partition table, writes bootloader to offset 7. Compresses with `xz` (fast) or `zstd` (smaller/decompression speed) armbian iso
