Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards

Hey @loboris,
How do I compile modules?.. I mean, what is the proper way to do it?..
I have configured kernel with your script, then I go to linux-3.4/ and do make prepare, then make prepare_modules, then (in my case) I do make M=drivers/media/gspca. It all goes without errors, but when I try to load the module I get:

insmod: ERROR: could not insert module gspca_zc3xx.ko: Invalid module format

Copy code

I am definitely missing something.

Look at the build_mali_driver.sh script, it builds only modules (it is called form build_linux_kernel.sh).
You can modify it for the modules you want to build.
If you can enable the module in kernel configuration, it is better to build the whole kernel together with the newly included module(s), then copy the uImage and lib/modules to your OPI.

It looks like it is related to udev (which from version 217 no longer has userspace firmware loader ...

Ubuntu Trusty works and correctly loads firmware.
Thanks for the tip

Now I found, that USB for hub and external USB connectors are working in
full-speed mode (12Mb). With 12Mb USB DVBT tuner will grab only one program, while I need whole MUX -> 480Mb is must.

Thanks,
Karol

Like Bizongod said loading firmware modules is working with older udev version. Could we change udev version ourselves or must we wait for new image updates?

I managed to compile and load the module for my webcam, but then mmc fails for some reason. If curoius see dmesg output below.

I give up.

@loboris, could you be so kind and compile modules for gspca webcams? I, in particular, need gspca_zc3xx module. But I guess all other modules in video/gspca would be handy for other buddies from future who might want to attach an old webcam to OrangePi. Thanks!

dmesg output if I load the module:

I'll do it.

I am using Ubuntu_trusty_mini with latest scriptbin_kernel, where i need kernel with CONFIG_BRIDGE=m
Goal is to create bridge between wlan0 and eth0.
Thanks.

I don't think you can easily (if at all) downgrade udev/systemd on Ubuntu Vivid/Wily.
So, for now, it looks like you have only two options:
Use the wifi adapter (and other hardware) which does not require firmware loading
Use the distro with older udev like Ubuntu Trusty, probably Debian Wheezy&Jessie (please test)

How can I install ubuntu trusty?

UPD:
I have just loaded ubuntu trusty and firmware loading problem is gone!) RTL8188CUS loads normally!

Also I have problem with NTP: service is started, but sync don`t wirking (have the same issue on Vivid)

You can download Ubuntu_trusty_mini.img and install Lubuntu (LXDE) Desktop using script.
You can also try OrangePI_Jessie_Xfce.img.
I'll prepare Trusty Xfce image and upload it soon.

@birky @toxuin @ALL you can try new kernel version with included dvb, v4l drivers and CONFIG_BRIDGE=m

You can use the new kernel update script:

Download update_kernel.sh from Mega or GoogleDrive
Copy the script to /usr/local/bin and make it executable

sudo cp <download_path>/update_kernel.sh /usr/local/bin
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/update_kernel.sh

Copy code

Run the script.

sudo update_kernel.sh

Copy code
