NAgain Posted January 13 Posted January 13 Hello everyone! *sorry for my bad English. I found the page https://www.armbian.com/longanpi-3h/ Sipeed LonganPi 3H but no OS images to download. Can anyone help me and give me links to ISOs or there are none yet? 0 Quote

They are back, but no warranty that images works as someone from community added them to the build system. Which are making them automatically ... and automation needs costly and constant maintenance for which we have very limited resources. 0 Quote
NAgain Posted January 13 Author Posted January 13 Thank you very much for your answer! I can be among the testers, because on the OS from the manufacturer, this board is simply useless, and there are no other OS options for it. Some problems were solved, but most remained. That's why it's better to have an OS from the community with errors that can be fixed than an OS from the manufacturer, who doesn't even respond to letters about problems! 0 Quote
Igor Posted January 13 Posted January 13 6 hours ago, NAgain said: who doesn't even respond to letters about problems! Manufacturers can not provide dedicated end users support and especially not for something complex such as Linux (kernel). Neither we can, the quantity is too big. We try the best with this forum - the only support that is possible to provide. We also don't respond on technical support emails which are coming to Armbian emails round the clock. Answering of such emails would eat whole day, every day, 365 days per year. This is how community cope with errors ... 😃 plus publicly on this forum and elsewhere. We are just a small group that generate a financial and emotional loss by helping everyone. We have limits and I am sure they have limits too. 6 hours ago, NAgain said: I can be among the testers Now you just need to find a person that is willing to fix problems you will report. Project sadly does not offer that, except if you take that persons utility bills. Until then, those are positions that project needs and afford to have: https://forum.armbian.com/staffapplications/ 6 hours ago, NAgain said: hat's why it's better to have an OS from the community with errors that can be fixed It is better, but ... most of community are consumers with too big expectations and are not going further then testing (which helps close to nothing as there are thousands of problems already recorded waiting for someone). Very little people are crazy enough to spent time for fixing common problems. (low level) SW maintenance is hard work. 6 hours ago, NAgain said: Some problems were solved, but most remained. This is how SW community maintenance looks like. Most people, those who are willing to contribute, only has time to address minor problems, big remains. We, as a project, went further, while funding is far behind. https://docs.armbian.com/Process_Contribute/ 0 Quote
robertoj Posted January 14 Posted January 14 It would help you to also buy the 2 SBCs that are the closest to the longan pi 3H: * Orange Pi Zero 3 * Orange Pi Zero 2W Learn the differences in hardware. Figure out the differences in their DTS files. Then share those fidings here with us. If there are some things that work in these 2 Orange Pis, but don't work in the Longan Pi 3H... then raise those specific questions in the forum. 0 Quote
