I successfully installed Armbian 23.8 Bookworm and was able to get the CloudShell2 display and fan working. Download Armbian 23.8 Bookworm and install on SD card. Follow the regular steps to get Armbian up and running on the XU4. Using armbian-config, I selected the XU4 board and install avahi.

echo "cpu temp = " $cpu_temp "C";
echo "start fan temp = " $temp_start_fan "C";


if [ $cpu_temp \> $temp_start_fan ];
then
    echo "starting fan";
    i2cset -y 0 0x60 0x05 0xf0; #start fan
