NEWS:
  • added script to build xfce (XUbuntu) image, ( desktop_scripts.tar.gz on Mega )
  • all build scripts updated, some changes, improvements, bug fixes  (make_linux.tar.gz)
  • Ubuntu Vivid XFCE desktop image uploaded.

Added experimental kernel compiled with disabled SUNXI_BUDGET_COOLING, CPU3 is no longer killed, and all CPUs run at 1.54 GHz max
You can get it from make_linux.tar.gz ( uImage_OPI-[2|PLUS]_NO_BUDGET_COOLING )
I've been using it for more then 24h without problem (with small heatsink)
Try at your own risk.

I'm finally back from a trip and tried it.  Ethernet now works from me.  I ran the script om an the  ...

I haven't changed anything about USB audio. I'll check which drivers can be enabled and I'll recompile the kernel.
USB bluetooth is enabled in kernel, if it is of any use for you.

Hi,

Did you see that, is it possible to do it for emmc burning  on your distribution ?
"Edited by zhao_steven at 2015-6-21 23:55


I have findished burning image to emmc flash.
You can use Lubuntu_1404_For_OrangePiplus_v0_9_0_.img for burning image to emmc flash.
First you have burned  Lubuntu_1404_For_OrangePiplus_v0_9_0_.img to microSD card.
After you boot Lubuntu system,you can execute command.
Important: after first boot run sudo fs_resize and reboot, to resize linux partition to fit sd card size
You can copy your burning firmware image into /home/orangepi/burn-image-to-emmc/
sudo dd bs=4M if=xxx.img of=/dev/mmcblk1
xxx.img is your burning firmware image,This need to wait 30 minutes.
sudo dd if=u-boot-sun8iw7p1.bin of=/dev/mmcblk1 bs=1024 seek=16400"

Installing on emmc should not be difficult. Unfortunately, I cannot test it, I don't have OPI with emmc ...

HI!
Sorry for my report:

XFCE hangs a while - 1 min - and goes into xcfe login Menu .

Chromium do not start

It is not possible to change the language - not with the app and not with command version

this is what OPIPlus is writing

root@OrangePI:~# sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

I tried Ubuntu with XFCE, it hangs for about 1 min, like Ubuntu with MATE, then it starts.
Chromium works with orangepi user, it doesn't start with root user, but it is seems to be normal.
Network and audio are ok. Video codec missing (no hardware support). I didn't try to change language.

About locales
please try to run:
  1. sudo apt-get install --reinstall locales
Copy code
After that, run Language support from settings and select your locale, if already selected, deselect (uninstall), then select it again (instal). You can safely uninstal English locale.
Logout, then log in.
If you still don't have your locale, manualy edit /etc/default/locale (as root) and set all to your language, so that il looks like this (of course replace hr_HR with your locale)
  1. LANG="hr_HR.UTF-8"
  2. LANGUAGE="hr"
  3. LC_NUMERIC="hr_HR.UTF-8"
  4. LC_TIME="hr_HR.UTF-8"
  5. LC_MONETARY="hr_HR.UTF-8"
  6. LC_PAPER="hr_HR.UTF-8"
  7. LC_IDENTIFICATION="hr_HR.UTF-8"
  8. LC_NAME="hr_HR.UTF-8"
  9. LC_ADDRESS="hr_HR.UTF-8"
  10. LC_TELEPHONE="hr_HR.UTF-8"
  11. LC_MEASUREMENT="hr_HR.UTF-8"
Copy code
If you want your home directories in your language, remove user-dirs.dirs and user-dirs.locale from .config directory (/home/orangepi/.config), then logout -> login. Delete English named directories.
I've successfully installed the locales for Croatian language.

About 1 min start delay:
I've never had it on OPI-2.

About uImage_OPI-PLUS_NO_BUDGET_COOLING kernel
It has no termal management, so if the CPU overheats, it halts independently of the kernel. You have to have real good cooling.
