Hello, recently i bought Orange Pi Win Plus board and have installed Armbian (Ubuntu xenial server) on it.

 

With stock kernel linux-image-dev-sun50iw1, linux-headers-dev-sun50iw1 and linux-dtb-dev-sun50iw1
all hardware working ok except USB DVB tuner myGica T230, needed for me, which has not enabled in kernel configuration.
I found linux-image-dev-sun50iw1 (https://www.armbian.com/kernel/, section Allwinner A64), its sources and etc has been removed from Armbian repository.

This is question N1: maybe someone has sources for this kernel for build?

Today i'm trying to build 'next' and 'dev' kernels for this hardware in Ubuntu 16.04 VM

'DEV' branch kernel and u-boot has two issues:

 

while installing builded packages i see this:

 

dpkg -i *.deb

and process never terminates, only Ctrl+C.

 

And finally, when i try to boot with this kernel and u-boot i see this log with OOPS and reboot:

'NEXT' branch has no working ethernet, no working usb, no working thermal zones (dmesg):

I understand that the development is still underway, but I would like to know in what state the development and when we can roughly expect the results?

We are struggling to put things together. Building A64 is currently (partially) broken. In Armbian and upstream ... broken net, USB and thermal are known shortcomings.

The primary goal is to come out with the first stable (non-development) kernel around 4.14.y for which we will take care on a longer period ... with A10, A20, H3 and H5 this is done or close to, while A64 is more distant. Our resources are micro/mini/amateur and progress is as is.

In other words:

as low-level development is not done by us it is impossible to say when or even if certain features will be fixed or implemented.
