was able to get wifi working using kexec's trick.

It wasn't kexec's trick, but mine ...

 

BTW, I'm still digging eMMC issue, but I got it working using the DTB from 4.20.12 under the kernel 5.0.4, so it must be a small issue in DT.

Look up to see how to do it with other resolutions.
@mraiser @TuricaT Can you guys test ethernet please?

Thank you, 1920x1080 works with that. I can confirm ethernet works fine as well.

Well, thank you! It works great.

Thats good to know, did you do anything special? I just put the image on the SD, even used the fancy formatting tool recommended by armbian and plugged the thing in, red lights blinking but its not coming onto the network. I did not do any manual config of the image. Maybe its because my board does not have eMMC but this would be a bit of a surprise if this would make some difference. 

 

If someone has a clue I'll try it although I don't have much debugging tooling at hand right now, otherwise wait and see, thanks guys.

There was a small fault in SBC-Bench. I fixed it. Now I know it doesn't underclock above 60C when on performance.  
@tkaiser line 180 V0.6.6         CpuFreq=$(awk '{printf ("%0.0f",$1/1000); }' </sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/cpufreq/${CpuFreqToQuery} 2>/dev/null)    -->   CpuFreq=$(awk '{printf ("%0.0f",$1/1000); }' </sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreq/policy0/${CpuFreqToQuery} 2>/dev/null) (I don't know if this is different on the OPi3 compared to other sbc's)

I think I like this board.  
Amazing work done @martinayotte.     
I worked on the Rock64 the whole week, this is already better than the rock64 for me.

Actually there seems to be a problem in the build process - at least for me at dev kernel. Any idea, what the reason could be?

Please, look at output/debug/compilation.log and search the actual errors there...

Thank you very much  for pointing me there.

Seems we have a redefinition of some drivers here.

I remember clicking the "include unused drivers" option - but I'm not sure if this could be the reason.

trying on

Right ! I've seen that today ... It seems that this patch/kernel/sunxi-dev/0081-arm64-arch_timer-Workaround-for-Allwinner-A64-timer-.patch as been commit directly into 5.0.2 branch, so this patch is become useless.

Since it become useless, I've just deleted it from Armbian patches.

Please, retry to build again ...

There does seem to be something very strange with the temperature sensor.
When doing exactly the same test, one time I see 52°C. Like that without the fan it underclocks above 60°C. (I believe this to be the real temperature)
I reboot, and do the same test, and I get 75°C and no underclock. Another time I reach 68°C with the same test.

I'm using the same heatsink and fan at 3.3V. This worked great earlier on. Now it shows a lot higher temps, but it's not underclocking anymore. Still on ondemand.

The heatsink isn't hot at all. This is the same as what I've seen earlier. For some kind of reason the temperature sensor seems to give wrong values.
I'm using " cat /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp " in a taskbar app.

Yes ! I was blind, because I've only search in my stuff, the glitch was elsewhere :

@megous , Megous 5.0.y branch has USB0-IDDET wrongly on PC6, one of the eMMC data pin, I've fixed it by assigning it to the good PC15 pin.

Thank you for your investigation and fix! - for those who could not do the build themselves yet - here you can find my updated image (Armbian_5.77_Orangepi3_Ubuntu_bionic_dev_5.0.4_desktop.img) with this patch included - please report, if the emmc works with this image, as I did not have the opportunity  to replace my own one, yet. - Thank you!

Edited 2019-03-30: private built file no longer available. You will be better off with  the nightly builds from armbian from now on:  https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi3/

Thanks to @martinayotte !

I have build and flash this version, it work good with wifi ( with trick) and emmc.

With emmc, the os a lot more response. One thing i found break is bluetooth, i enabled it via armbian-config but it fail at next boot.

Many boards have WiFi module with Bluetooth hardware capabilites, but nothing has been done in software and DT to enable it.

Sorry to hear that, but for me the server seems to work and I can see a bunch of downloads (at least) have been started.

The link returns 404 for me too.

It did not an hour ago, I should have downloaded the image while at work, damn -- 😂

same, link doesnt works

there is quite easy and good manual how to build an image by yourself. in that way you are sure that it is clean and latest/greatest version

 

I personally use vagrant setup as it looks like easiest way to do this on windows.

just restarted my nextcloud - could be a temporary problem with the hard disk (too much power consumption for the OPi3?)

I just built a fresh image using VirtualBox and I can confirm eMMC issue is fixed as well. Thank you!!!

Thanks! The link is working now!

Find a issue about ethernet，when I use "ethtool eth0"，system report speed is 1000Mbps. But I use iperf3 test link speed，eth0 link speed is  only  100Mbps。Did anyone have same issue ?  My image is builded by myself. The version is 5.0.4

I'm planning on buying the OPI3 because of the rich feature set. I would love to put Armbian on it.

Building an image is no problem for me but I'm lost tracing the current issues and would like to know what those are at the moment.

 

I've found out:

 

- HDMI resolution output issues. Fixed

- CPU speed throttling issues. Fixed

- WiFi issues. Fixed

- eMMC issues: Fixed

- NIC issues: ??? No issues for some?

- Bluetooth issues: ???

- Sound issues: ???

- Reboot issues: ???

 

Can someone tell me if I'm correct about the above? Or i'm I wrong or missing something?

Every Armbian images work on SD ! After having it booted, it can then be transferred on eMMC using "nand-sata-install" ....
