Igor Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 What do we have?Serial connection: Hardware schematics: orangepi-plus-h3-v1_1.pdf Wireless: Realtek RTL 8189 ETV Allwinner introduced new way of storing board definitions (also on A23 and A80) so it's a bit different than on A20 boards. H3_Manual_build_howto Kernel building with Allwinner SDK is terrible and was not able to build it. I must admit I haven't invest much time and energy yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ytn Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 I know what you mean. I have an OrangePi Plus as well and tried to build the source, but couldn't get it going. I just needed the cifs kernel module (I don't know why this isn't included in all images by default), but was not able to build it. If anyone manages to compile the module for 3.4.39 (or can tell me how to build it manually), please let me know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joaofl Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm also interested on that. Would appreciate any effort on that direction. Dont have expertise on that, but if I can help... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have compiled a working Ubuntu 15.04 for the Orange Pi Plus here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4IRS Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'm new to the Allwinner family of processors but not to building kernels etc. I need to build a custom kernel for the OrangePi PC. I've worked with Loboris image builder but I have not had much luck with the kernel builder. Has there been any movement to add the H3 to supported processors for Armbian? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 The only kernel is that (buggy / substandard) one. I would suggest you to dump this hardware and go for some A20 if you need a solid solution now. H3 is far from ready. Zero progress in mainline as far as I know.
