Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards

loboris

I've got hdmi sound and pulseaudio working perfectly.
Later today I'll upload new versions of images and instructions how to enable it on old images, if you don't want to redownload.

Can you tell us  which with frequence the CPU's are working?
Are all 4 CPU enabled.

I use the board als Thin Client
I have an OrangpePI (A20 - 2 CPU) also
It seems to me that the orangepi Plus (H3 - 4 CPU) is not faster.

I am not a good technican in this. Belongs the Speed in the CPU's or with die Mali Graphic.

Thanks for Info.

Kernel should rum on 1.54 GHz.
  For some reason the maximum CPU frequency switches to 1.2 GHz soon after boot.
It usualy heppens because of overheating, but on my OPI-2 it heppens even if I keep it very cool.
I have to investigate more to find the reason.
H3 should run (much) faster then the A20, CPU speed is not related to Mali.

roblad

Hi,

Do you plan to add emmc driver for that kernel ?

loboris

UPDATE:

• new version of build scripts uploaded, many bug fixes and improvements
• new versions of basic Debian and Ubuntu images uploaded
• new kernel version has support for bluetooth, btrfs, nfsd, USB2serial
  
• new version of Ubuntu 15.04 with Mate Desktop uploaded
  

• sound now fully working
• SMPlayer installed, you can test audio, there are some internet radio stations in Favorites
• x2go server installed, you can connect remotely to your desktop using x2g client
• Firefox replaced with Chromium browser, works better
  

All images are initialy prepared for OrangePI-2
You can easily prepare them for OrangePi-PLUS using included script update_boot.sh, just run:

1. sudo update_boot.sh

Copy the Code

You can use the same script to update kernel and/or u-boot when upgrade is released.


Network-manager applet initialy is not visible (it is known Mate bug, not related to OrangePI installation).
To enable it do the following:

• install network-manager-gnome ( sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome )
• go to System -> Preferences -> Startup application
• Disable Network
• Add new startup application (Add button)
• Name: Network manager
• Command:  nm-applet
• Comment:  anything
• Click +Add button
  

Logout and login again and you'll have Network manage icon.

Don't forget to run fs_resize after first boot.
