Hi there i just receive this promissing board. I update the armbian build tree and it appears on WIP. I tried to build the image but it fails on kernel building (a missing .config file), how can i help you to quick test the board?

fail on boot after with WIP image
https://pastebin.com/BBQUSrBz

its no ext2 partitionon on sd card so uboot cant find boot.scr ,its  on ext4 partition in /boot

after today commits infinite boot loop 
after Started Load Kernel Modules.

need seccond boot,working

dmesg output
https://pastebin.com/AwN5bJ5i

the real nice stuff is include fbtft driver to get console on cheap arduino gpio lcd,thanks for your work

I am using armbian wip config to build .

 

Please correct me and guide. ignore if it sound no sense.

 

uboot and kernel able to find both on board stoarge and sd card ( evo 16gb) . find below given boot and dmesg snippet.

RDA8810 has in built toshiba slc 1.8v nand . RDA8810 kerenel needs the patch for 3.10.62 

I am learning to hack and not sure how to patch for 3.10.62.

keyboard usb does not work

There is an armbian work for this board i have use it and do a version img for this board (unestable but usefull):

I have compile armbian for opi 2g, only for test:

 Thanks to the help of the community We have managed to activate the NAND in linux and now the partitions denoted to Android are shown like this:

 

Disk /dev/mtdblock0: 24 MiB, 25165824 bytes, 49152 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

[................................
..................................]

Disk /dev/mtdblock4: 280 MiB, 293601280 bytes, 573440 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I have compiled armbian community version (WIP) for Opi IoT 2G, I would like to know if it is possible to install armbian in NAND memory.

We have a total of 512MB of NAND, it is little but I think enough to incorporate a small Linux distribution (eg armbian) .

I have seen that the armbian script to install on the NAND (nand-sata-install.sh) looks in /dev/nand, but the IoT 2G Opi does not have this device. Is it possible

to remove the NAND disk (in Disk /dev/mtdblock0...4) from this card and create a /dev/nand device of 512mb?
Thank you

We are already a few users of this board. We believe that it already has enough potential for support. I myself have managed to install armbian W.I.P, community on the 512mb of NAND of this card and works well.

Thanks
