Well.. one small line for orangepizero3.wip, one giant leap for Orange Pi Zero 3

The overlay PR fix from @Stephen Graf has been merged into Armbian.. thanks for sticking with it.. awesome to have more people contributing

Not wanting to side track this thread off the Orange Pi, but I found some info about an upcoming h618 board from Sipeed, the Longan Pi 3H, which is similar to the Orange Pi Zero2W.

From the news I have read and the store, it's in early production and appears to have limited availability.

The reason it may be useful in this thread, is the mainlining effort they have undertaken may have some crossover with what we are looking at for the Orange Pi Zero 3, so their repository may be a good point of reference for patches/changes etc:

-edit-
 
Couldn't help myself, I have ordered one 

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} ] } ] } ] }}  

Yup mine is running with a heatsink (kit from aliexpress). Idle 37°C. After running "stress --cpu 4" for a few minutes it's going up to 60°C. The sensor values delivered from the SOC seem legit.
 
Have been running some stress tests for io and ram too without instabilities: "stress --cpu 4 --io 4 -m 4 --vm-bytes 512M -t 300".
Not sure if the cpu frequency and so on is controlled by the kernel, driver or by the SOC internally. So no idea if this is interesting but the data shown by cpufreq-info seems ok. After stress testing high percentage is at 1.51 GHz. When idling the percentage of time in 480 MHz is rising. So switching between different frequencies looks good. Unfortunately the tool is printing stuff in german.

Glad to hear that my feedback was useful. Let me know if there is anything certainly interesting I could test. I'll maybe play around with more network stuff like vlan (docker ipvlan) but not sure If this is something where you would expect to see issues.
 
So thanks again for all your effort and happy new year to all of you.
