 Interesting point about the Orange Pi Debian server is that the boot 
partition contains uImage only.  No uEnv.txt or script.bin or boot.scr.

 I've just received my Orange Pi Plus board today, and while I was
 downloading the Debian server image I noticed that they've released
 something called Linux SDK source code from
 http://www.orangepi.org/downloaded/download.html

 It seems to be a tarball containing a top level directory named lichee/
 which contains a 3.4 kernel tree, a buildroot tree, a uboot2011.09 tree and
 various tools. There's no git history, which makes creating a diff against
 whatever kernel version it's forked from a pain.

 I'm fairly well versed in building kernels and buildroot systems, but I'm
 not much more technical than that so I can't really do much with the SDK
 other than build what it produces.


It is highly likely that it is based on
https://github.com/allwinner-zh/linux-3.4-sunxi

To figure out the changes, you can
1. Clone the repository at https://github.com/allwinner-zh/linux-3.4-sunxi
2. Erase the working tree (all files and directories inside
linux-3.4-sunxi/ but keep the .git/ directory).
You did not destroy your clone repository; what matters are the files
inside .git/
3. Untar the downloaded tarball and place the Linux kernel files in
 linux-3.4-sunxi/
Here you may need to move the files around so that the location of the
kernel files match those of the repository.
4. Run 'git diff' and see the changes between the HEAD of the
linux-3.4-sunxi repository, and the downloaded H3 Linux kernel source.

Reading the orangepi.org website pages, it appears feasible for someone to
get in contact with Steven (see website footer for details)
and talk about these issues.
But please, no gung-ho this time.

2015-04-28 Thread @lex
I contacted him and asked for the SDK/BSP, he replied to wait for about a 
week, that was two weeks ago. So i guess they are still cleaning up some 
things and are closer to release it.

Following on from that, looking at the wiki, apparently the Orange Pi
Plus [1] and Orange Pi Mini 2 [2] were supported, however the DTBs and
FEX files are nowhere to be found, so I've amended the wiki to reflect
this.

Both of these pages were made by the user orangepi who appears to be
writing pages with claims that devices are supported without actually
following through on releasing the required files and in the process
pointing users to non-sunxi repositories for those files. (I.e. [3] -
[4] has already been fixed)

Do we have a contact at Xunlong / OrangePi we can poke about this?

Finally, is anyone working on support for the H3 SoC?

Thanks,

Allwinner haven't released the H3 SDK yet. I've asked and I can see that some
H3 related source is in the current repos that they have pushed.

The FEX files can be extracted from those images. It looks like this
one is for all variants
