So you can create a working odroid C2 image, and the only change you did was switching to linux-vim?
Yes, I created the image and so on, I modify the extlinux.conf file…
read my other post, I don’t understand why the ethernet connection was fine !
I added some soft with the arm-profiles, editions, kde-plasma by adding for example smbclient
yesterday the Ethernet connection was fine and not today…
I think I now know what went wrong. I’ll do a couple of tests and push out a fix if I was correct.

Thanks a lot, I stay tuned for some test.
A Manjaro user have a working Manjaro arm C2 on this earth.
Applied your workaround, until I get time to look into it more.
So if you update your profiles with sudo getarmprofiles -f and build using unstable branch with -b unstable, you should get a working image.
Manjaro ARM Installer installs won’t work until the fix hits stable branch.
Ok, I note your message, I can’t do it now, but later, for sure :-)
I hope no issue with the Ethernet connection, the wifi is tricky for me…
I invite the other C2 User tot test it.
I wrote this message with the C2.
I updated the profiles with sudo getarmprofiles -f
I build the unstable image as suggested.
sudo buildarmimg -d oc2 -e kde-plasma -v 2021.06.16-01 -b unstable -n
keyring issue solve with your command lines
Ethernet connection is working by default

[nlc2@c2 ~]$ reboot
Unfortunately the device don’t reboot, should I build an unstable image, testing or stable ?
Did you change to linux-vim, like you found out would work?
I don’t think the “fixed” package got into this update.
Linux-vim is by default install, I only up date the device, no more no less.

Right now I build a testing image.
That was changed in the last couple of days.
If you need to build a new image, use unstable branch for now.
Although the packages needed are all in stable branch at this point.
linux or linux-vim kernel ?
linux-vim, but with uboot package 2021.04-2.
OK, now I build a unstable image, see you later with my test report.
[nls@nls-pc ~]$ sudo buildarmimg -d oc2 -e kde-plasma -v 2021.06.18-01 -b unstable -n
The Odroid C2 is an EOL device though, so we probably won’t put to much work into fixing it, if it breaks again. Just so you know. 
Yes, I know, the device is End Of Life, I think it will be nice to keep it alive, until now no hardware issue.

Short answer: The kernel source tree.
The linux package, gets built directly from kernel.org’s source, while linux-vim gets built from Tobetters (from hardkernel) source tree, which includes some fixes and stuff for odroids. I believe he wants to upstream most of it.

The C2 have a linux-vim kernel, but the other Odroid devices (N2, C4…) not, why?
Because the other Odroids work fine with linux while, as you found out, the C2 seems to not be anymore.
The C2 had been running linux for years before this.
