Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards

iliasam

palmercr, thanks. I could not find "syslog" in repository, but
sudo apt-get install rsyslog helped.

I'm trying to run through this solution to see if I can get the Realtek USB wifi to work.  I got to the point where you do the "make" command and I get the error no such file or directory.  The problem seems to be that the symlinks /lib/modules/3.4.39/build and /lib/modules/3.4.39/source point to /home/LoBo2_Razno/OrangePI/kernel_3.4.9/linux-3.4 which obviously doesn't exist.  So I cloned the kernel from [url]https://github.com/loboris/OrangePI-Kernel[/url]  using git and then changed the symlinks to point to the linux-3.4 folder in that download.

That worked but now I get the following error when I run make.  Any ideas?

1. make ARCH=armv7l CROSS_COMPILE= -C /lib/modules/3.4.39/build M=/home/orangepi/Downloads/RTL8188C_8192C_USB_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911/driver/rtl8188C_8192C_usb_linux_v4.0.2_9000.20130911  modules
   
2. make[1]: Entering directory '/home/orangepi/OrangePI-Kernel/linux-3.4'
   
3. Makefile:567: /home/orangepi/OrangePI-Kernel/linux-3.4/arch/armv7l/Makefile: No such file or directory
   
4. make[1]: gcc: Command not found
   
5. make[1]: *** No rule to make target '/home/orangepi/OrangePI-Kernel/linux-3.4/arch/armv7l/Makefile'.  Stop.
   
6. make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/orangepi/OrangePI-Kernel/linux-3.4'
   
7. Makefile:584: recipe for target 'modules' failed
   
8. make: *** [modules] Error 2

Oh I should probably add that I already figured out that folder armv7l doesn't exist.  I guess my question is do I need it?  If I do how do I get it?  If not how do I get it to stop looking for it.

Have you installed pull-up resistor between Vcc and 1-Wire DATA ?

Simply excellent images loboris!
There so good, we've created the DietPi Orange Pi images using your Debian Jessie image as the baseline.

trying to build that driver on the OPI will not work and you also seem to miss a (cross)compiler and probably other dependencies needed to build the driver correctly


anyway..I have build the driver for you:

cd /tmp
wget https://github.com/lymon66/ORANGEPI-PC/blob/master/8192cu.ko?raw=true
mv /tmp/8192cu.ko\?raw\=true   /lib/modules/3.4.39/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/8192cu.ko
depmod -a

and to check if it is installed correctly:
modinfo 8192cu

I don't have a USB wifi interface with this particular chipset myself, so couldn't test it...

Hello

Iam having a issue with kswapd0 process

edit /etc/sysctl.conf   and append at the end

vm.swappiness=0
vm.overcommit_ratio=2
vm.dirty_background_ratio=2
vm.dirty_ratio=4




reboot the system ... test an report to me

@Survive-Pi  To solve the problem with btrfs:
edit the install_to_emmc script, find the mkfs.btrfs command and change it so that it looks like:

1. mkfs.btrfs -O ^extref,^skinny-metadata -f -L emmclinux ${sdcard}p2 > /dev/null 2>&1

Copy code

There was some changes in new btrfs-tools which make skinny-metadata option default, and it is not supported in the OPI kernel
Make the same change in any script that uses mkfs.btrfs or if you use btrfs format manualy.


@lymon @etopi  The 8192cu.ko driver is allready available in kernel modules directory (/lib/modules/3.4.39[-01-lobo]/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtlwifi/rtl8192cu directory)
The driver requires the firmware loading, and it it does not work on Ubuntu Vivid/Willy , same as any driver which requires firmware loading.
