I'm trying to compile u-boot for the Orange Pi Plus using the SDK posted by Steven. Has anyone managed to do this successfully?  So far it builds u-boot.bin but not SPL.

I am using the following instructions:

cd lichee/brandy/u-boot-2011.09
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- sun8iw7p1_config
make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi-

I don't know where to start.  This has been very hard.  First, I got the orange, but the power supply was bad.  I had to construct a usb cable to use a usb supply I had.
Then I installed the Lubuntu image.  Booted but the display showed "Out of Range".(Using a 1680x1080 monitor).  Connected it to my hdmi tv.  Did not work but showed the resolution fromt the orange to be 720p but 50.  Everything in the US is 60 hz.
Then I installed U-boot (posted by fritz) from a thread on changing resolution.  WIth that I could boot and things worked pretty good. EXCEPT-no audio.  I could not even get a generic usb-audio device to work but aplay -l lists it.  Looks like usb-audio is not enabled in the kernel.
So I decided to try raspbian.  It had the same issue with the monitor.  I installed the u-boot and it booted.  But his one the desktop was really screwed up.  Could not resize of move windows around.
So I tried the debian server.  But that had the display problem too.  But because x-destop is not installed it does not work even with the U-Boot. (The U-boot does not fix the console but allows the xsession to work).  Debian does not have ssh installed so this is completely useless.
Now I need to build my own kernel for lubuntu so I can added usb audio.  But building the kernel is very difficult based on internet searches.  Everyone does it different.  I looked at http://linux-sunxi.org/H3_Manual_build_howto but I am having trouble there too.
If I want to customize the kernel supplied in the lubuntu image, is this the right place to look?.  Do I use this as the source:
Linux_sdk_source_code_For_OrangePi_plus?If that is correct, how do I replace the kernel on the current sd card I am running?  or how do I create a ubuntu image?

Please help.

@markwinger
linux SDK is the only source we have for the H3 Boards.
This SDK contains partialy non working and buggy code.
If you try to build a kernel with the lubuntu-kernel.config you will loose ethernet support.
I don't think it's worth.
