This actually tells you that U-Boot checked if environment variables are stored somewhere. It looked at configured place, noticed that CRC doesn't match and concluded that it will use default environment instead. In short, this error is normal and it would go away only if you would execute "saveenv" command in U-Boot. 1 Quote

hojnikb Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Guys, would something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sale-Mini-PCI-Express-to-2-Ports-SATA-3-0-III-6Gb-s-Expansion-Card-Single-Chip/292743285592?hash=item4428dc0b58:g:aewAAOSwzaJX~4oV:rk:3:pf:1&frcectupt=true work on opi3, given how funky pcie is on H6 ? That would make it a pretty awesome cheap NAS setup, if capable. 0 Quote

hojnikb Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Question; is the original Ubuntu from xunlong or amrbian usable enough, so that at least usb3 and network works ? I'd really only need it as a storage server, so i don't need anything else. Figured might as well get usb3 to sata bridges for my drives (insteado the pcie sata solution mention above), should work well enough for 2.5" drives. 0 Quote

If you would read this thread you'd know that these people are working on getting a good OS working for it. So no, there is no useable and stable os for it, no you can't use PCIe on it. This will take time. There are other sbc's that can do what you want. I'd go for the NanoPi M4. It now has got a hat with 4xSATA.https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=254 A lot more work has been done for the RK3399's. It's also still a work in progress. But for what you want it's more than ready. I wish everybody working on it good luck, I'm following this thread for a while, and have been testing a lot of @krachlatte images. I hope you're going to find the problem and may receive your unit quickly. I also had to wait a very long time for it(+1 month). I can say that Orange Pi uses different images for the eMMC version vs without eMMC. I've tried a non-eMMC image and this didn't work on my eMMC version. So this could also be a factor to keep in mind. Cheers. 1 Quote
dreddit Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I've used the OPi3 Debian server and desktop image it works, but based on 3.10.65 kernel so a bit out of date, but it works for most things and Ethernet works, and USB3.0. So something to build upon, never had problems booting it. I've only managed to get one version from this post to work and that was @krachlatte version 06, none of the others. So good luck on the next revision guys. 0 Quote

So good luck on the next revision guys. Awsome! Thats really what im after. Replace my current ITX amd setup for opi3. SInce this is only a storage server, i don't really care for other than networking and usb3. Idea is to build as cheap storage server as possible using existing itx case (having a small opi sized board gives me room for more drives) capable of gigabit network transfers (so usb2 is out of the question). OPI3 and Rock64 currently seem like the cheapest option. Rock64 being better supported and 5$ cheaper, but slower CPU and less usb3 ports 0 Quote

It's Debian Jessie and hasn't been updated in ages. The cpu handless very badly. When in use it underclocks to 1.5Ghz cause it's above 60°C. Even with a heatsink + fan I can't keep it under 60°C. It performs a lot worse than the Rock64 or Odroid C2 @ 1.5Ghz. This is not what I call an acceptable image. Ubuntu the same.

ImmortanJoe Posted March 3, 2019 Posted March 3, 2019 Been meaning to say this. The OPi3 seems to deafen nearby wireless devices when running the legacy kernel. It disrupts other WiFi devices, BT and my Logitech keyboard and mouse. Re Logitech dongle, if I put it on a long USB extension cable it works. My guess is that WiFi is outputting at maximum all the time, but it is just a guess. 0 Quote

With 3.10.65 image it stabilizes at 3 which means three of four cores are permanently under full load which also explains the temperature issues. Did not test on OPi3 though as I do not have one but on OPi1+ which comes with H6 as well. 4.17 with initial support for H6 fixed this for me. 1 Quote
