herken Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) I have been running Armbian_5.83.190502_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.0.10.img since it was released and have no problems so far. I wrote it to the EMMC and everything seems to work apart from the Wi-Fi. Running cp /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio.bin /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43456-sdio.bin cp /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac4356-sdio.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43456-sdio.txt fixes the Wi-Fi for both 2.4 and 5 GHz. However, the bit rates do not seem to be higher than 54 Mb/s (802.11g). Iperf3 benchmark had 941 Mb/s on the ethernet port (might be capped also by my router or laptop ethernet adapter). EMMC gets around 81 MB/s read speed. Edited May 6, 2019 by herken 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kernel was released yesterday whenever someone fixes all the patches which might need an adjustment & proves that the board is actually booting. It probably not top priority to move to 5.1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck_Norris Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Hi Guys... Very nice work indeed. Never thought the board would make it so far. Just resurrected it from beeing paper weight... Unfortunately it came to my attention that mdadm (RAID5 support to be more specific) is still not activated to the Kernel. By any chance: There is noone with a compiling environment around able plus willing to compile one with raid activated? Cheers!

By any chance: There is noone with a compiling environment around able plus willing to compile one with raid activated? Are you really considering building an madm RAID with USB drives? Technically it is possible but I doubt you'll get anything but problems with reliability. It's easier than you may think to compile yourself - check out https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/ If you're looking to 'play' with mdadm as a learning exercise then fine, but if you really value your data I'd suggest you should build a 'proper' raid using an x86 board and good quality SATA drives. On budget SoC boards I'd just rsync my precious data across several physical drives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many, I don't know all of them since I've never used their PCIe, but according to some reading, the RockPro64 seems to be a good one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate building stuff of things I already have around. Plus RAID5 proofed itself as reliable option for me. And please keep in mind: I'm talking about RAID5 and not backup options (when it comes to valuable data). I just thought some guys here already do have a compilation environment around, able to check "RAID" next time they compile. Just a "pretty, pretty please with sugar on top" question...

HannesH Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Really greatful for the latest debian strech version you've made for orange pi 3. Installed openmediavault on it and almost everything works perfect. Only thing is I can't make raid on it. When I insterted "mdadm --create /dev/md/name /dev/sda /dev/sdb --level=1 --raid-devices=2" it says: mdadm unexpected failure opening /dev/md127 After a bit of research about the meaning of it, I found out that probably it does not have the RAID subsystem loaded in to the kernel. Would really really appreciate if next version would include that too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
