I believe it was on your linked build -- I will be reflashing my second unit with the linked build to confirm. The really odd thing is there appears to be a disconnect between load average and CPU usage -- CPU reads pretty low and the unit is overall responsive. If it WAS panfrost, would any clues in ps and/or top indicate it as the cause? I'll let you know what things look like on the latest flash.

Just a weird little quirk with the latest build... my load average never seems to drop below 1. Is anyone else experiencing this? CPU load never seems to increase above 2 - 3% but after letting the OPI idle, it's more or less just sitting at a constant 1.0. top - 11:59:18 up 1:24, 3 users, load average: 1.11, 1.04, 1.04 Tasks: 186 total, 1 running, 185 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie %Cpu(s): 0.2 us, 0.5 sy, 0.0 ni, 99.3 id, 0.0 wa, 0.0 hi, 0.0 si, 0.0 st @Ukhellfire

You the man! Thanks for all your hard work!

I should have time to flash & try myself tonight. I will report in.

Kernel development is over my head and I'm not familiar enough with how the boot process works on x86, never mind on ARM. Is it possible uBoot has all the necessary support to find the storage devices, but somehow the kernel doesn't? Are there perhaps storage devices that require a kernel to load (SD card, etc). Perhaps this has a possible interaction: https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=14517 I note they add an extra part of the arguments "PARTUUID". Total shot in the dark here!

Tried this image, getting to busybox because can't find volume with UUID=xxxxx. So, it seems to at least try to boot, but then can't find the root partition later... very odd.

I should have time to test tonight. My config is Orange PI 3 LTS with 64GB SD card. Let's see what happens!! I seem to recall there is no WiFi yet, so I'll see if I can boot it with a head and then run it over to my ethernet. @UkhellfireWhoops, it seems your shared file is now in the trash. Let me know when you have a new candidate IMG.

Please post source, at least. I can build myself if need be. Failing that, I can also just flash the .img to see what happens. What did you have to do to get it stop hanging? I'd encourage you to post source sooner rather than later, because even without WiFi this is still pretty valuable (users can use Ethernet OR external USB adapter). GREAT JOB and carry on!

If you want me to send a serial cable to you, PM me and we can arrange details, otherwise enjoy

I apologize for the delayed response -- I'm rate limited on this forum as a new member. > "insmod error could not insert module uwe5622_bsp_sdio.ko invalid module format" This may be caused by kernel module versioning support... e.g. "insmod error could not insert module uwe5622_bsp_sdio.ko invalid module format" One way to test this theory would be to disable kernel module versioning. I believe you can do this in menuconfig. Re: ethernet and not working after plugged in post-boot, perhaps media negotiation is broken on this chipset? Monkeying with ethtool might deliver some results... If you want to post a link to your source I can attempt building it and running it on a Orange PI 3 LTS. I can even let it burn in for a couple days and see if it's stable. I can't wait to test drive Armbian on here. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Orange Pi should send you some presents for making their hardware more valuable.

Signed up JUST for this thread. First of all, awesome at getting armbian to run on this board (or at least trying). I've been very frustrated by the stock Ubuntu/Debian images provided by the vendor. I have two Orange Pi 3 LTS. I will test any images you want tested. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND THANKS FOR DOING IT IN THE OPEN!!!
