Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards

I have received a OPI PC.
Is it possible that the ubuntu vivid image do not work with each monitor

Example: script.bin.opi pc with 1080_50 is ok but with 1080_60 no picture on Monitor. On another monitor both do nothing and on another different one 1080_60 is ok but with 1080_50: Picture is there but quality is not so good as with 1080_60

Thx

It is possible that some monitors do not support some resolutions/frequencies, that is the reason for different script.bin.

I had such a problem with a web browser which eats memory, and, with the kernel 3.4, it seems that only 512Kb of RAM are usable.Then, killing/stopping some processes stops the kswapd daemon.

Try to put in your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

blacklist rt2x00usb
blacklist rt2x00lib
blacklist rt2800usb
or some combination...

Tested AP mode, works good using create_ap method.

Before using, install some packages:

I installed the thing and it is running.

How can I start this service automatically.
At git I found something with systemctl but I receive the following message:

root@OrangePI:~# systemctl start create_ap
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Vorgang nicht zulässig

Please can you give a manual how to do.

Thank you

Any combination of the modules added to the blackklist, prevents the card from being recognized.

I've plugged the "module 3" from my Odroid, and it also falied to load the firmware.... so it seems the image has problems find the FW, even though they're installed.

@loboros, thank you for your sharing ! that's great project for OPI. I try to make kernel by your xz package, when I #make parepare, it said "rep: scripts/../arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl: No such file or directory", I find the arch directory only have arm sub-directory. Do i need copy x86 sub-directory to arch or you did another way to build the kernel ?
