Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards

Still no success on building my own kernel. Just trying to build the source modified with your changes and no changes of my own.
Here are the errors I get:

  CC      arch/arm/mach-sunxi/power/brom/resume_head.o
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘--min_array_alignment=4’
arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘--no_unaligned_access’
make[3]: *** [arch/arm/mach-sunxi/power/brom/resume_head.o] Error 1
make[2]: *** [arch/arm/mach-sunxi/power/brom/resumes.code] Error 2
make[1]: *** [arch/arm/mach-sunxi/power] Error 2
make: *** [arch/arm/mach-sunxi] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

It contiunes with several hundered lines (Some warnings) then stops here:
  LD      fs/nfsd/built-in.o
  LD      fs/built-in.o
  DEPMOD  3.4.39
cp: cannot stat ‘arch/arm/boot/uImage’: No such file or directory

Is something still missing or is my environment not right yet.
Running an x86 install of ubuntustudio:
mark@mark-ubuntu:~$ uname -a
Linux mark-ubuntu 3.16.0-34-lowlatency #47~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 10 18:18:14 UTC 2015 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux

Any ideas?

Hi,

I did some tests, and the main problem is in uImages I used all file system from zacho_seven (dir structure) and works but without emmc and FTDI.

Is the resume_head.o an expected/acceptable error?

There is no linux-3.4/arch/boot directory.  A tar -tfv does not show this directory in the h3-lichee* or liche* gz files.  Should there be one, or does that need to be manually created?

I am also generating my own kernel with gcc 4.9.2 on a ARM machine and there are a lot of problems:
ia64 binary (@loboris thanks for the brom directory), section mismatch errors, relocation problem with 2G/2G memory, Makefile errors with out-of-tree building ...
I will give the source patches as soon as I have a working kernel.

Hi,

I am trying and trying to run FTDI and may be someone can recognize a problem, when I tried to start through modprobe I have such info:

/sbin/rmmod
root@orangepi:~# /sbin/rmmod ftdi_sio
rmmod: ERROR: Module ftdi_sio is builtin.
root@orangepi:~# modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0x6001
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod.c:507 kmod_lookup_alias_from_builtin_file() could not open builtin file '/lib/modules/3.4.39/modules.builtin.bin'

Thank you.

I think that Plex is problem. It use a lot of system resources. It crashes while I am playing movie from it, sync or randomly. Could someone please test the Plex Media Server on loboris Debian? Can be installed from http://www.htpcguides.com/instal ... lubuntu-and-debian/ where is "Install Plex Media Server on ODROID using Repository". I used it on Raspberry Pi 2 without any problems (wheezy version).


Last thing, loboris, could you please prepare Ubuntu Server for orange pi plus? It is possible? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/arm

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Petr

I think AP can work on OrangePI. There are many tutorials how to set it up. For now I have very little free time to test it, sorry. Maybe next week.
