What happened?

I'm trying to build .iso image for orangepi5-plus, I've tried various options and other boards (including one board from Platinum support section), but always getting the same error stands for:

Things that I've tried:

• switch between mainline arm-build and stable versions (v25.5.1)
• building various combinations of kernel (current, edge) and OS (debian, ubuntu)
• build for board BIGTREETECH CB1 from Platinum support section
• completely remove armbian-build folder from PC and retry from fresh start
• build with PREFER_DOCKER=yes and no

My setup is:

• Windows 11 24H2
• Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS under WSL2 (fully updated & upgraded)
• Docker Desktop 4.43.2 (199162)

Log files are too large for https://paste.next.armbian.com/log, so I've uploaded them as achieve

build-export-debug.7z build-export.7z

How to reproduce?

Run Windows Terminal and do these steps:

1. wsl
2. git clone https://github.com/armbian/build
3. cd build
4. ./compile.sh BOARD=orangepi5-plus BRANCH=edge PREFER_DOCKER=no KERNEL_GIT=full DEBUG=yes kernel-patch

Branch

main (main development branch)

On which host OS are you running the build script and observing this problem?

Ubuntu 24.04 Noble

Are you building on Windows WSL2?

• [x] Yes, my Ubuntu/Debian/OtherOS is running on WSL2
