and for be clear with you, I dont work for armbian, I have just tested every iso on the orangepi page.
the boost work, your ubuntu going to work but no lcd, no hdmi, no real support... so bypass this time of trouble.
The orangepi dont boot with MINI USB power so use the dc adaptor OR gpio pin 1 5v relay and 6 ground ...
OrangePI is a group of small computer ( you have some version PC, mini, PLUS2, etc...), you need a OS boot on it,
bananapi, baglebone this is a different type of mini pc and need a different version of os.
And you need a different version on os for the orangepi version PC or mini or plus ...
And jimmy what the is H3 WINNER, I am not sure but I think is the processor on it and if you buy you orangepi recenly like 2016 I think you suppost to have a orangepi with H3 WINNER you can check on your board on black square ... something is write on it.
So keep in mine you suppost to have a orangepi with H3 winner processor on it.
You need a OS for your orange pi,
ARMBIEN is the debian os distribution working on different mini-pc and you have Pre-compiled kernel, stuff and sometime desktop environnement version done for you. ( ARM cpu ... not real x86 or x64 ... it done for the mini-pc)
everything look good, i use the officiel supported os and I try without make kernel custom change.
so next next next next use DD to copy the raw on the sd card... everything is good, i choose orange pi pc etc ... when is the first boot ... the red link blinking non stop not 5 minutes more then 1 hours ...
I cannont see nothing, no ssh connexion, no graphic, it just a orange pi zombie ... I try 3 time with the dev kernel ... config everytime i have the same "bug" so we decide after 1 hour to remove the dc power, and start the orange pi again.
the console ask me some question ... everthing like good and we have a message " create the desktop environnement """ after I reboot the orangepi and nothing "no screen fund" it just a normal 1920x1080p screen.

20 years of experience in computer science and I look like an idiot front of my OrangePI PC...
You want to have a working HDMI LCD SCREEN with your ORANGEPI PC and you want to learn fast…
Read this small tutorial, sorry my english it not perfect and if I make some error during this tutorial,
please admin just correct me inside the post.
First of all, if you think you know something when you receive your orangepi haha,
clear your memory my friend, orangepi is not a pc … is not a RASPBERRY so don’t try RASPBERRY tutorial
or don’t try the raspberry OS version FAKE idiot stupid img -http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/orangepipc/oragepipc_e930546e866b23585721e5d2a6.html

ARMBIEN is the debian os distribution working on different mini-pc and you have Pre-compiled kernel, stuff and sometime desktop environnement version done for you. ( ARM cpu ... not real x86 or x64 ... it done for the mini-pc)
http://www.armbian.com/download/
So if you have a orangepi PC H3 : http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/
you can choose jessy server ( no desktop graphic environnement ) or Xenial version.
In general case you need the JESSY with GRAPHIC desktop version
http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/Armbian_5.14_Orangepipc_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop.7z
5.14 : is the compiled version number,
--------------------------------------------------------------------
if you have more experience you can compile 5.17 by yourself https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib
3.4.112 kernel version ( you have 2 last version 3.4 .... go with this .... everything done work with it )
the 4.0... kernel vanilla is a beta and desktop dont work at this moment.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
So .7z file wtf, it easy download the utility it look like winzip or winrar it : http://www.7-zip.org/
extract and you receive a .raw file... wtf again and burn it with rufus or win32DiskImager... on sd card not usb key !!
So now you have front of you
MINI PC : ORANGE PI
TYPE : PC
OS : ARMBIAN 5.14
VER : JESSY DESKTOP 3.4.112
KERNEL : 3.4.112
You suppost to plug normal hdmi monitor screen pc and see the armbian os.... ask you some question so anwser it.
IF is not working .... seriouly the only thing is the resolution ...
if your screen have a weird resolution like 1920X1440 like my pro design screen..
So try to find screen with normal resolution and boot on it just for sure all is ok...
if you dont have normal screen resolution scan you network and connect you in SSH on the orangepi IP
user : root pass : 1234
So keep in mind the type of SCREEN
