Difference between "b" and no "b" image?

[trohnjavolta]

Hi, I couldn't find an explanation for it in the docs, what's the difference between these two images?

Armbian_23.05.0_amlogic_s905x3-b_bullseye_6.1.25_server_2023.04.25.img.gz

and
Armbian_23.05.0_amlogic_s905x3_bullseye_6.1.25_server_2023.04.25.img.gz

I was asking this same question recently and I didn't understand @ophub's answer. It seems to use a different dtb ie not the X96 Max Plus .dtb like the regular S905X3 images. I dunno if anything else is different?

I think it's a different mainboard.

different mainboard

"s905x3" and "s905x3-b" are different devices. The BOARD name is an abbreviation, and each different BOARD name is a device's abbreviation. Sometimes the SOC name is used, and sometimes SOC+BOARD is used.

These two are the names of their SOC.
