I have two OPi1+ and both running fine on 5.3.0 and earlier ran fine on 5.2.x as well... Just updated one of those SBCs to the 5.3.0-sunxi64 kernel image I built earlier today (and is available to the public, see link below) and is booting fine.

Nice. New builds, including freshly released Linux 5.3.0, are ready.

You can give "usbmount" a try.

I do not own this board so no idea.

I found some information about bluetooth here regarding firmware for a certain chip. https://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_3

There should not be any need to change anything. Armbian comes with optimization to extend sd cards life. Check the section performance tweaks for more information: https://docs.armbian.com/

Feel free to create a PR to https://github.com/armbian/build including the changes you wish.

Yeah....kind of root@honeypot:~# armbianmonitor -m Stop monitoring using [ctrl]-[c] Time CPU load %cpu %sys %usr %nice %io %irq CPU C.St. 13:47:48: 1008MHz 0.21 3% 0% 3% 0% 0% 0% 33.5°C 0/6^C root@honeypot:~# uname -a Linux honeypot 5.3.0-rc3-sunxi #5.94 SMP Sat Aug 17 13:17:44 UTC 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux Interesting. RC3 seems to be okay

The barrel plug is not flawless either. I run my OPi1+ with those from a 5V 3A. Though when I connect an external hard drive to the USB the voltage drops far enough to prevent the spin-up. As we know Xulong mostly passes the input voltage unfiltered through I connected the microUSB with a second cable to the same power source as well and the hard drive could start without issues.

I always freeze firmware updates when using custom build kernel images on my boards to avoid issues like this.

You can always give 5.3-rcX kernel a shot if you haven't already. You can find some prebuild debs and images following the link below.

Awesome. Starting a new build round right now

Megous 5.3 branch has been pushed from rc3 to rc6 and it seems like we have a regression somewhere.

In first place I wanted to store the debs I created on Github as well, though dropped the plan as the file size limitations is quite annoying. That is why I utilized owncloud to store and share them.
