After weekend meditation I build armel version of Debian for OrangePi-Zero.

 

And it works.

 

Limitations:

1. There are no armel port for Ubuntu, only Debian.

2. There are no armel version in repository http://apt.armbian.com/dists/jessie/

 

Howto:

1. Git clone Armbian development

2. Modify in lib/configuration.sh switch by appending third section for armel


case $ARCH in
arm64)
[[ -z $KERNEL_COMPILER ]] && KERNEL_COMPILER="aarch64-linux-gnu-"
[[ -z $UBOOT_COMPILER ]] && UBOOT_COMPILER="aarch64-linux-gnu-"
[[ -z $INITRD_ARCH ]] && INITRD_ARCH=arm64
QEMU_BINARY="qemu-aarch64-static"
ARCHITECTURE=arm64
;;

armhf)
[[ -z $KERNEL_COMPILER ]] && KERNEL_COMPILER="arm-linux-gnueabihf-"
[[ -z $UBOOT_COMPILER ]] && UBOOT_COMPILER="arm-linux-gnueabihf-"
[[ -z $INITRD_ARCH ]] && INITRD_ARCH=arm
QEMU_BINARY="qemu-arm-static"
ARCHITECTURE=arm
;;

armel)
[[ -z $KERNEL_COMPILER ]] && KERNEL_COMPILER="arm-linux-gnueabi-"
[[ -z $UBOOT_COMPILER ]] && UBOOT_COMPILER="arm-linux-gnueabi-"
[[ -z $INITRD_ARCH ]] && INITRD_ARCH=arm
QEMU_BINARY="qemu-arm-static"
ARCHITECTURE=arm
;;
esac
3. Run ~/compile.sh ARCH=armel and ignore warning of configuration.sh
