@voapilro @bjorn @Long-Johnny, all
psst some fun stuff
https://github.com/ag88/1.5GB_Fix_for_Armbian_on_OrangePiZero3/
ok that's the 2nd attempt to create a custom u-boot to boot Armbian on 1.5 GB OPi Zero 3 boards, do visit the repository for more info.
 
first you can try that with the 'official' image
https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-3/
but that this u-boot is build from mainline u-boot at the 2024.04 release
https://gitlab.com/u-boot/u-boot
and that it requires a working /boot/boot.scr or /boot/boot.cmd to boot linux. /boot/boot.scr or /boot/boot.cmd are the boot scripts that actually has u-boot commands which loads the kernel and dependencies and boot linux.
if the boot drops you into a command shell, it could mean either that the /boot/boot.scr or /boot/boot.cmd is invalid or that it is using a *custom* u-boot and the /boot/boot.cmd, /boot/boot.scr uses or is expecting some variables that is not there in 'standard' mainline u-boot.
I managed to boot to the Linux command prompt this time !
 
I'd just like to say that I took the Armbian Bookworm minimal image from the Armbian release web for Orange Pi Zero 3
Armbian_community 24.5.0-trunk.474 6.6.28 
https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero-3/
did my u-boot patch, run it on my 1.5 GB Orange Pi Zero 3 and it booted to the prompt! and just right now
 
Here is a screenshot running from Orange Pi Zero 3 - 1.5 GB board tethered from usb-uart to debug console, I ran the command 'free' which shows that the total memory is 1.5GB
how about that for a proof-of-concept 
without this u-boot 'patch' u'd get 'stuck' at the boot reporting 2GB seen on the usb-uart debug console for the 1.5GB board.
 

 
men I feel like celebrating, now Armbian runs on 'all variants' of Orange Pi Zero 3 - 1 GB / 1.5 GB (with this hack) / 2 GB / 4GB 

Their forum post seems to confirm that this board is indeed oriented towards Win10 IoT
 
From their forum admin:
A new board from Xunlong would be released soon, which named Orange Pi WIN.
This new board could run on Windows IOT.

This is awesome, thanks, I tried this on Orange PI 2, and it works great, first time I ever see Orange PI on other resolution.

Another update. To change easily the HDMI resolution and take care of HDMI-to-DVI converters (they need special settings otherwise display shows wrong colors), I improved h3disp a bit. Unless this is part of new OS images you can grab it at the usual location: http://kaiser-edv.de/tmp/4U4tkD/h3disp.sh
 
8c17768ba915c63df1354d1e524bc350  h3disp.sh
 
If called without arguments it just outputs a help text now. But you can specify display resolution and whether you've to use DVI or HDMI on the command line:
root@orangepione:~# h3disp.sh -m 348974398 /usr/local/bin/h3disp.sh: Illegal video mode "-m 348974398". Try one of the following: 480i use "-m 480i" or "-m 0" 576i use "-m 576i" or "-m 1" 480p use "-m 480p" or "-m 2" 576p use "-m 576p" or "-m 3" 720p50 use "-m 720p50" or "-m 4" 720p60 use "-m 720p60" or "-m 5" 1080i50 use "-m 1080i50" or "-m 6" 1080i60 use "-m 1080i60" or "-m 7" 1080p24 use "-m 1080p24" or "-m 8" 1080p50 use "-m 1080p50" or "-m 9" 1080p60 use "-m 1080p60" or "-m 10" Two examples: h3disp -m 1080p60 -d' (1920x1080@60Hz DVI) h3disp -m 720i' (1280x720@30Hz HDMI) Simply save it as /usr/local/bin/h3disp.sh, make it executable (chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/h3disp.sh) and enjoy resolution switching the easy way (just kidding -- but at least it's easier than tweaking fex files manually -- our goal is still to provide a solution to use any display resolution sometimes in the future).
 
BTW: The script should also work with Xunlong's or loboris' OS images but untested there. Feedback welcome.

I guess I found the fix my self:
 
sudo apt-get install gvfs
sudo apt-get install policykit-1
 
(Also makes the missing trash appear on the desktop)
