Just a quick update from a "test user" point of view running "Armbian-unofficial_24.2.0-trunk_Orangepizero3_bookworm_edge_6.7.0-rc7.i2c3.test.tar.xz". i2c port and io stuff isn't very interesting for me personally..bear with me
I'm using SBC more or less as little servers.
 
Overall stability: Pretty good. No crashes reboots or so
Docker: Hardware device forwarding to container (zigbee usb stick) works fine. Giving containers separate interface in different VLAN (ipvlan) works well.
lmsensors gives reasonable information:
{ "cpu_thermal-virtual-0":{ "Adapter": "Virtual device", "temp1":{ "temp1_input": 37.079 } }, "gpu_thermal-virtual-0":{ "Adapter": "Virtual device", "temp1":{ "temp1_input": 37.970 } }, "ddr_thermal-virtual-0":{ "Adapter": "Virtual device", "temp1":{ "temp1_input": 37.727 } }, "ve_thermal-virtual-0":{ "Adapter": "Virtual device", "temp1":{ "temp1_input": 36.674 } } }  
mpstat is also working fine. Idle is little low because Unifi server is eating up lots or resources when starting 🫣:
{"sysstat": { "hosts": [ { "nodename": "orangepizero3", "sysname": "Linux", "release": "6.7.0-rc7-edge-sunxi64", "machine": "aarch64", "number-of-cpus": 4, "date": "08.01.2024", "statistics": [ { "timestamp": "22:15:23", "cpu-load": [ {"cpu": "all", "usr": 32.22, "nice": 0.00, "sys": 2.99, "iowait": 6.49, "irq": 0.00, "soft": 0.01, "steal": 0.00, "guest": 0.00, "gnice": 0.00, "idle": 58.29} ] } ] } ] }}  

This is great news. I made an attempt at this last night but unfortunately it didn't work as expected.. and I haven't had a chance to have a closer look yet. The configuration for mmc0 concerned me, so I would be keen to see your patch/changes to see what I may have wrong?

Reason I was slow to the wifi patches was I was provided some feedback by @wast3d55 that the expansion board USB ports weren't working on my latest build, so I have added configuration for these two additional ports and @wast3d55 has just provided confirmation that they are working correctly (thanks!). I will have an expansion board in the not too distant future so will add that to my testing in future

Updates for USB ports added in this commit:
https://github.com/pixdrift/armbian_build/blob/zero3/patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.6/patches.armbian/arm64-dts-sun50i-h618-orangepi-zero3-enable-HDMI-and-USB.patch

So the only thing pending now I think is to get wifi working. @Stephen Graf would you be able to link to your repo (private message is fine) or maybe try your patches against my latest zero 3 commit above and share them? once we can confirm they are working, I will merge them in.

I am happy to build a test image and share it for others on here to test too.

Success!

Will post more details soon, but combining my u-boot mainline config, dts config and the work from @Gunjan Gupta it built a clean working image. Don't have time at the moment to get all the details posted, but here is the lsmod showing it using panfrost. It's built against 6.6.4, was having issues with the sun4i-drm on edge (6.6.7 now), will dig through that later.

Massive thanks @Gunjan Gupta, the sun4i patch was the missing piece.
