Here are some more detailed instructions.
I'm always try to work with pretty much the latest u-boot  ...

Good job. Any issues? Does four cores all working?

-j18?

May I ask what CPU you've got in your desktop?  .....trying your build directions now.  Thanks!

12 core Xeon I suppose ;)

I succeed with u-boot but failed to boot kernel.

Uboot also reports some errors regarding cpu voltage ...

@codekipper
a couple of small oversights in your How To:
after git branch orangepi linux-next/master
git checkout orangepi
for git am, patches needs to be in "mbox" format.
patches does not apply cleanly, needs manual intervention.
yeah and -j18 is a bit "bully"

I have used archlinux as rootfs, works to.
if anyone interested, here is my boot.log:

@fritz,

How does one buildroot for alarm?

BTW.... YIPPIE!

Found it!  It's the patching.  @Fritz, how were you able to make the patching work?  I'm not so hot with git, so

Applying: pinctrl: sunxi: Add H3 PIO controller support
error: patch failed: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/allwinner,sunxi-pinctrl.txt:17
error: Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/allwinner,sunxi-pinctrl.txt: patch does not apply
error: patch failed: drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/Makefile:12
error: drivers/pinctrl/sunxi/Makefile: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 pinctrl: sunxi: Add H3 PIO controller support
The copy of the patch that failed is found in: .git/rebase-apply/patch
When you have resolved this problem, run "git am --continue".
If you prefer to skip this patch, run "git am --skip" instead.
To restore the original branch and stop patching, run "git am --abort".


Leaves me a bit clueless....

Thanks!

fritz

continue with:
git am --abort
check if it's clean:
git status
download my attached big patch and untar it.
check if patch does apply clean:
git apply --check Basic_H3_support.patch
if ok apply it:
git am --signoff Basic_H3_support.patch
check if OK:
git status
check log:
git log
type q for quit log.
continue with @codekipper's how to.


:edit
patch removed

Here's the final form of my script but here's the thing:  Bootage!  It was the periods after /tmp/sdcard......
Don't use this script as anything more than a reference.  If you do, you'll likely regret it.  You've been warned....

Well, the big patch was intented for you, that you can complete your test without too many hitches.
You can safely remove the header from the patch, credits should go to Jens (jemk).
errors at first sight:
cp /home/faddat/linux/arch/arm/boot/uimage   ---> uImage
but in the end you've managed to complete the process and to boot without problems?
