I think you've hit the curse of almost all ARM single board computers. Almost all are small production runs / out of East Asia somewhere as "prototypes"** with a board support package (BSP) that's probably just the manufacturer's kernel, u-boot and dtbs.


If that was all it was at, it would be livable.

But the new series of boards are coming with NPU processors and this necessitates using closed source driver component (some parts are open but not all)

As a corollary many packages have been tweaked to use the proprietary GPU and NPU stuff. As a consequence, in my case with a NanoPC-T6, I get on apt upgrade

The following packages have been kept back:
