I think Orange Pi guys themselves don't know how to detect RAM size for the 1.5 GB model because they have separate OS images for 1.5 and 2/4 GB.

Where can I find uboot source code after I compiled Armbian? Did it get deleted? Don't see it anywhere - there is kernel source, but no sign of uboot.

It is the last line of output from compile.sh when it's invoked with kernel-config

Thanks! So everything works fine, it's only the "run make" instruction that's misleading. Other than that, I have successfully compiled Armbian and it runs perfectly!

Thank you very much, that explains it. One nitpick, definitely not worth a separate thread. compile.sh suggested that I should first run it with the "kernel-config" option, and after it runs, it says to build using make. But that doesn't work as no makefiles are created. The two-stage process (first configure, then compile) makes a lot of sense to me, but how to run the second stage?

Hi, I'm new to Armbian and this is my first time ever compiling any Linux system. I'm sorry to bother you with such a basic question, but I just don't understand. I want to enable a kernel module. Upon browsing the kernel configuration utility menus, I don't see this functionality anywhere. But if I run search with '/', I find this, this is the module I want: How do I now proceed to enable it? Or make sure that it's enabled (if present by default)? Also, what's the meaning of =y and =m? It's listed in the resulting .config file as =y, just as the search shows.

Thanks a lot! If, by some miracle, it happens to work, how would I activate it? Activating the analog out shuts down HDMI. So when HDMI works, it means the analog out isn't working. I've found there is a Linux kernel config/module DRM_SUN8I_TCON_TOP that might be needed. P. S. I don't need audio, so no problem.

I know, I've read 80% of the topic, except for a couple pages in the middle where it got too technical and you were discussing features I don't care about. As I said, I need to compile my own image, so what is the recommended revision / PR, and what configuration/compilation options can you recommend? Since you linked to the "releases" page of the main Armbian repo, I assume that building from the top of the armbian/build repo should be ok and no extra patches are required?

Hi. I'm new to Armbian and Linux development, and first of all I want to thank everyone who supported Armbian for Zero 3 and made it work. What is the current state of things - when building from source, should I use the Armbian trunk or should I use a PR/fork? And what are the recommended options for the compile.sh script? The reason I need to build from source and not just take the nightly built image is that I need to make the TV out (composite / analog video out) work. During your work, has anyone come across any code / patches that might help me activate the TV out? Thanks! P. S. I will have the Zero 3 on hand in one or two days, can I help with testing anything?
