There are many people who tend to use old phone chargers on there systems and wonder why things become problematic after a good while of usage.
My recommendations to people who have this issue are the following
1 - if you are a *SERIOUS* modder or electronics engineer you will know all about bench power supplies and there benefits.
2 - for others who aren't in this category. I would like to share with you my preferred method to deliver power to dev boards. I utilse these shown in the link below.
I have found these type to be incredibly stable after 18 months of running one nonstop on a live system i can happily describe them as rock solid and superbly over engineered for the task at hand.
DISCLAIMER - I am in no way affiliated with the suppliers shown in the link but using it as a visual representation of the power units i have found to be very good

revist the post, i think you will find the answer in the links i gave

!!...THANKYOU...!!
Donation made in appreciation of the work you have done on the H3 board

this may offer you some pointers - we had a similar issue over at forum.doozan.com and came up with a workaround.

Of most interest here is the post from DonCharisma "As for discussions about whether it's "allowed" "
and this may also be helpful

will the i2s functionality make it into the "legacy kernel" download / update. if not how does one obtain and use this kernel?
Or is it best to wait till such time as the vanilla kernel is available?
Im very new to the nuances of armbian and particularly the H3 chipset.

just as a thought before I do, have you tried the following
1. Do you have the codec(s) installed to actually play the file you are hoping to play?
2 Deactivate the soundtrack inside vlc player and then activate it again
3. Open VLC > tools> preferences>audio > output module select waveout audio output> select "relevant/alternate sound output device" save.
4. Do the VLC sound output setting match those of the desktop default device?
5. Are you running an up to date version as found at the VLC website?
-
for KODI to function properly you need to modify kernel options.
I will see if I can reproduce you sound issues on my OPi H3, this evening and see if I get the same thing

Is possible to switch to a completely localized version (Spanish I mean in my case) of the LXDE Desktop?
Thanks.
Yes : perform the following and you will get everything you need - works from the "server build" and or the "desktop build"
copy and paste the below line as root - this will give you a full LXDE deskop
apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade; apt-get install keyboard-configuration locales tzdata console-data task-lxde-desktop --install-recommends -f -y
then do the following to set system locales and keyboard settings specific to your region.
dpkg-reconfigure locales
dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
dpkg-reconfigure console-data
dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration

The best advice i can give to anyone around physical cooling of a chipset is the following.
1 always have good unimpeded airflow around your device.
2 dont stick it near or on another heat source if you are passively cooling
3 use copper heatsinks with good quality thermal cement / glue, if copper heatsinks are not an option, look for a heatsink with good surface area, ie tall and lots of fins.
4 if you are still running at what you perceive to be too hot, then look to add a fan to extract the hot air away from your device.
copper heatsinks like this are always good

Close to unbelievable but I'm watching now a 1080p/H.264 movie on this little board
In case anyone wants to give it a try here's a preliminary build for A20.
Im looking forward to the day we can do this on an OrangePiOne... roll on the mainline kernerl support...

IMHO - wikis are a great thing to have, but can be very time consuming to setup with agreed formats, images, page layouts etc. then there is the pre-population of the wiki itself.
I don't wish to appear down on the idea, in fact if there was one, i volunteer to assist, just trying to make people aware of the initial overhead associated with creating and maintaining a wiki
WIKI - GOOD!

Hello all
And firstly I would like to congratulate you and thank you for a cracking little distro.
I recently purchased an OrangePi-One amid all the hype of the Pi-Zero to give the Opi a try out. after having tried the images available on the manufacturers site and learning there shortcomings I resolved to build my own image. I was pointed to your site by a member over at http://forum.doozan.com and I must say I am blown away by what you have achieved and distribute!!!
You have saved me the pain of building my own OS by applying all the relevant patches. I will be testing your images out for my own needs and should I be able to make any contribution over and above "testing" I will do so.
KUDOS to the Devs and Contributors!
H3 Board - Displays
in Off-topic
Posted
Can anyone recomend any displays to be used with these boards?
Current options i have are "modified keychain / photoframe" attached to usb bus and or standard HDMI devices
im thinking along the lines of an LVDS displayor something driven from the GPIO pins, has anyone any experience with this or am i alone in the dark?
Links would be good as this may also benefit others.
EDIT : scratch that for the Opi-One, its a camera connector.. will stick with the hacked photoframe idea
