Is there any plan to support orange pi 3b

[Manny Wang]

I just buy the orange pi 3b powered by the Rockchip RK3566. Is there any plan to support this new SBC.

I'm here for this. Here's the board info: https://liliputing.com/orange-pi-3b-is-a-single-board-computer-with-rk3566-for-35-and-up/

 

I'm sure there are others that use the RK3566.

Necessary files for building have been merged. If it will be supported however depends on if a person steps up as maintainer.

I'm raising my interest as well.

 

I'm interested in joining maintenance efforts, but I'm not able to support anything GUI or graphics related as I have space to work on the board remotely only.

Will it be an Armbian OS for the Orange Pi 3B? 

 

Currently I'm testing it with OS supported by Orange.

 

I have Armbian on Orange Pi plus 2e and like it and want to have same OS ON my 3B also. 

 

Then great benefits of the 3B is that I don't need a SD card to boot or setup. It has a load mode so it is an USB slave when transfering OS to the NVMe SSD. Then it boot from the SSD.
