Looks like we can use the source code posted by Allwinner on Github for H3 boards.

Where I am at the moment:
- Successfully compiled u-boot (however not tested yet).
- Successfully compiled Linux 3.4 kernel and booted it.

Build environment
I am using a Ubuntu 12.04 virtual machine as the Allwinner code requires the older gcc 4.6 to build.

apt-get install libncurses5-dev
apt-get install gcc-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-4.6-arm-linux-gnueabihf
ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-4.6 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov-4.6 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcov
ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++-4.6 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
ln -s /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-cpp-4.6 /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-cpp

u-boot

cd ~/opi
mkdir -p tools/pack/chips/sun8iw7p1/bin/
git clone https://github.com/allwinner-zh/bootloader
cd bootloader/u-boot-2011.09
chmod +x mkconfig
chmod +x tools/scripts/*

Edit arch/arm/cpu/armv7/config.mk and replace references to -msoft-float by -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=vfpv3

make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- sun8iw7p1_config
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
cd ..

Linux kernel

cd ~/opi
git clone https://github.com/allwinner-zh/linux-3.4-sunxi
cd linux-3.4-sunxi/

curl -L -o arch/arm/mach-sunxi/power/brom/gen_check_code 'https://github.com/allwinner-zh/linux-3.4-sunxi/raw/9b373011c2717c072c8d20505f15fadad4239c0e/arch/arm/mach-sunxi/power/brom/gen_check_code'
curl -L -o arch/arm/mach-sunxi/pm/standby/gen_check_code 'https://github.com/allwinner-zh/linux-3.4-sunxi/blob/9b373011c2717c072c8d20505f15fadad4239c0e/arch/arm/mach-sunxi/pm/standby/gen_check_code?raw=true'
chmod +x arch/arm/mach-sunxi/power/brom/gen_check_code arch/arm/mach-sunxi/pm/standby/gen_check_code

Copy the attached .config file (silly forum does not allow attaching file without zipping it)
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j5 uImage modules
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=output modules_install

TODO:
- Test u-boot
- Complete linux kernel configuration (current config has no networking). I'd like to restart from a default Ubuntu or Debian kernel config baseline and add the relevant sunxi options.

Some question
In docs of Orange Pi say next ->
SD Card Layout

Because that sd card layout is wrong.
bootloader is at 8x1024
u-boot is at 16400*1024
first partition starts at 20480x1024

Booting from sdcard, just replaced uImage. Not sure making this work is worth pursuing now that Steven has released SDK.

Hi pgauret,
how are you booting this?..sdcard or eMMC?...are you using the old debian image and just replacing uImage?
Kudos by the way,

Sorry for late reply. For the moment just replacing uImage, couldn't yet build a working u-boot from the SDK sources.

@pgauret
u-boot needs to be "updated" with sys_config.bin and written on 16400.
bs=1k seek=16400

Thanks Fritz, this is indeed a step I was missing.

Which board name do you use to build sys_config.bin?  I have the following available:

default  dolphin-cmcc-wasu-p1  dolphin-p1  dolphin-perf  fpga

dolphin-p1, but I have the right one for pi plus extracted ;)

....and look at sun8iw7p1.h ->  #define CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
before you build u-boot.
