Orange PI with 4.2.2 and 3.4.109

giaur500

Is it suitable for OrangePI PC?

igorpec

Nope, there is no support for this chip (H3) in community or vanilla kernel. It might soon be usable in Vanilla (4.3.x) but for server operations only.

Sorry, no.

Orange Pi + or PC with chip H3 is not supported.

Has anyone tried to run 4.3 kernel? I have compiled latest one with H3 enabled but resulting uImage didn't boot. I am new to this, so maybe you have some hints how to prepare kernel to boot with OrangePi PC ?

Thanks

I have built 4.3 kernel, but OrangePi PC is not booting. Probably device tree is missing. Anyone has dtb file for OrangePi PC ?

There is absolutely no support for H3 in mainline kernel. Unfortunately

It works with kernel 4.2, not with 4.3.

Thanks, I found this file earlier today and started playing with it.

My kernel is now booting, but is not going far. I guess I would need to look at OrangePI PC schematics. Do you know where I can find them?
