Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards

Andras

My biggest problem is: kswapd0 often needs 100% cpu usage. I try to use swap space but I dont have any success. Somebody can help me in this topic?

More ram would ne really nice, if somebody wants to use this board as a server then 3G ram is essential. 3G would be really unique on this type of computer.  I definitely buy one. For me usb3 also important becouse of sata speed.

Count me also in for a 5 THz HexadecaZilla KillerCore, 4 TB RAM DDR9 memory and fiber optic network connections for $30. Preferably with 24/7 online and phone support!

Ok... time to wake up now. The orange pi H3 series boards are definitely "the most bang for the bucks" you can get at this moment. Pricing is great, and even the (community like Loboris!) support is great compared to the price. Some things you have to figure out for yourself, but that's the fun of it. So please let's stop this discussion and let's get back to progress!

Yes that is true. But i think such cheap boards like Orange Pi2 or Radxa Rock Lite suffer from poor ...

All my work is for free (well, I've got OPI-PC and OPI-PLUS for testing...)
I'm in absolutely no way related to the OrangePI manufacturer.
I agree with you that the manufactorer does not have the money to invest in software development, if they sell OPI-PC for 15 US$ I can't imagine how they can have any profit at all.

It depends on what are you using the board for. I've never been able to understand why would someo ...

You right,but if i want install xbmc and use gpio to transfer data to lcd 16x2 with for example cpu temp or video data,or make ambilicht mod for your tv,the aceleration have sense.

You would be suprised, there is totaly different market in Shenzen. I was looking for OV5640 camera modules and found that in larger quantities they could sell for less than 8 USD (You said that it costs 18 USD). But when I talked to Tom Cubie - CEO of Radxa, he said it is far too much ...

I think that they make some profit on Orange Pi PC- at least 7 USD maybe. But this is probably not enough to start professional software development (like Raspberry Pi Foundation).

@ ALL  Maybe we should consider DONATING loboris for his job here ??? Then we could ask him to prepare the kernel for us with things which all of us want? We could donate 10-30 USD each, maybe it would be amount of money considering him to spend some more time on developing the kernel for us?

@loboris What do you think about that?

I'm also having the kswapd0 issue even though I have plenty of free RAM and no swap set-up. As a temporary fix you can issue the following, but the problem soon returns.

1. echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Copy code

@Loboris: Any idea?

What I can do for OrangePi is determined mostly by my (very limited) free time, any donation is welcome, but it can't influence that.
And I'm in no way an expert in kernel programming. I do have some knowledge, I can fix, change, modify some things, but not much more.
My main work is in designing and programming specialized microcontroller devices, communications and database design.
I think OrangePi has very good quality/price ratio, and I'll continue to make my best to make it more usable.
