I will add a README.TXT and a wiki page with my findings :-) I have a OPI-2 (v1.0) and a OPI-PC (v1.2). The naming convention (OrangePi 2, Plus, Minus, etc...) is just a nightmare, especially to understand which image is compatible with which, considering that the SOC is the same for all. Orangepi.org has also an horrible website with a big rolling banner on the top of the page, which is confusing even more visitors when you want to know which board has what. I went through different states yesterday: 1. Broken USB 2. Broken ethernet 3. Broken wifi support But I am still stuck at having the 3 properly working, even with Loboris latest kernel updated with this script: http://filez.zoobab.com/allwinner/orangepi/mega/update_kernel.sh which installs this kernel: $ cat /proc/version Linux version 3.4.39-01-lobo (boris@UbuntuMate) (gcc version 4.6.3 20120201 (prerelease) (crosstool-NG linaro-1.13.1-2012.02-20120222 - Linaro GCC 2012.02) ) #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 25 14:46:41 CET 2015 This kernel has working wifi+ethernet, but the USB is broken. Most of those images seems to have been generated on the 30st of August, and with a kernel that had broken USB+Ethernet. -- Benjamin Henrion FFII Brussels - +32-484-566109 - +32-2-3500762 "In July 2005, after several failed attempts to legalise software patents in Europe, the patent establishment changed its strategy.

And it won't get better with the new H3 based Orange Pi One/Lite ;) But loboris' images do not differentiate between the different boards at all. It's necessary to run update_kernel.sh that exchanges kernel and script.bin (and for the latter you can decide from a few fixed resolutions and whether you use a HDMI-DVI converter or not ‹ all this stuff is defined in script.bin) > I went through different states yesterday: > > 1. Broken USB > 2. Broken ethernet > 3. Broken wifi support Ethernet/USB should work after running update_kernel.sh and choosing the correct board (if you're using a really old image from him there might be a few manual steps necessary). Regarding Wi-Fi check whether the necessary module is loaded and then execute: sudo nmcli -a d wifi connect See http://www.orangepi.org/orangepibbsen/forum.php?mod=viewthread=342 BTW: To use any display resolution (currently no EDID detection in the H3 3.4 kernel) I relied on fbset in the past: Install the package, define/choose a resolution in /etc/fb.modes and set this with fbset at boot.

Any idea if we might get a recent 4.4 kernel for the H3? Work in progress. We also have a wiki: http://linux-sunxi.org/Orange_Pi_PC#Mainline_kernel One Orange Pi PC is used here as NAS serving music since weeks with kernel 4.4-rc-something.
