considering to buy orange pi 3 with new H6 cpu, usb3.0 port and onboard emmc, but everyone has been complaining official images, just wondering if orange pi 3 will be supported soon.

No need to waste my time on this forum or with this distro anymore.

We have test builds without end-user support: https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi3/

I tried to find some prices on it, but it seems the board is relatively new and  might be too soon for Armbian support, you can try getting things up and running yourself and then (hopefully) get help wherever you're stuck. If you just want a ready to flash image you might have to wait a while. H6 is only supported on a handful of WIP boxes from my understanding.

 

Good luck.

Thanks for your suggestion

Thanks!  In your opinions, how about the performance of this board?

H6 is a fast chip but no idea in very details since I don't have this particular board. BTW. mPCI slot will never be supported but the rest should work sooner or later.
