H3Droid - Android image developed specifically to work on Allwinner H3 devices

RagnerBG

I am not complaining, just been curious, because zram have it pluses in boards with less ram. But if there are issues, ok. I am trying H3Droid in OpiPlus2e, so memory is not an issue for me.
Anyway, i just test the new 1.3.2 version. Very nice work . Only had issues with image burning, before discover H3resc, which is very useful set of tools. Raw image write give me only color test screen and i'v notice there was no uboot and fex, set up, so i guess i had to go through H3resc anyway, but i burnt it directly. And setting image file, instead of device, wasn't working either ("could not get the size of ---.img", or some error like this). But this is not so important. Important is that OS is working fine, so far, so - good job. I just wonder for now, why there is second Power button (on the left of the actual) which appears to do nothing? I would prefer to have "reboot" there, for example, without the need of installing an App. And Power button doesn't look to be real poweroff (green led continue to lite).
Thank you for your time to doing this.

the second 'power' button is bound to 'TVPOWER' keycode, but it's not working (same story as tvpower on ir remote). and remember, whole project is work in progress, with some features added to be tested on before reaching fully functional.

ps. if you are happy with the image dont forget to support the project (either by spreading the word about it or throwing a beer or two via h3droid.com/donate  ;) )

Hi all. H3Droid is a great project. I use it for a couple of hours and i notice that when i install Armbian, the image is for opi + 2E but my board is opi PC. Is this normal?

Hi goondu , what type of video were you playing ( size / video AND audio codec ) and with what software ( spmc, tvdplayer, ... ? ) . If your board is in a case : has it a heatsink and/or a fan , and would you mind to try outside of case then ?
As a general rules software crashes  happen in less than a minute.  memory leaks or hardware crashes on the long run.

Thanks for your response.My OrangePi PC was housed and tested in a casing.
I am now stress testing the video streaming with another OrangePi PC board [without a casing] with another sdcard. I will update my observation.


My first OrangePi PC board [with a casing] was now not with me, so I can't do further test. However the following were observed:
a. that the red on board led light will flicker every few seconds. [Unlike my second board, whereby I always have a solid green on board led light]
b. the video stop after continuously play for approximately 20 minutes [can only make further test, once I have the first board back]

I had streamed both live TV [via an Android app] and movies [via UC browser], and in both instances, the streaming will stop after having continuously played for a while. The casing is noticably warm.

Thanks
