Thank! Your build, unlike the one that the developer suggests, does not hang.

Disk image
U-Boot


The updated system on 2019.01.24.
The original kernel 4.20.2-2-ARCH
Added package mc

I checked the operability on Orange Pi Plus 2.

We detected problems with rebooting the system while performing reboot, the computer does not restart, but simply turns off.
