Orange Pi PC 2 is the only single-board computer with Gigabit-Ethernet and 64bit CPU under 20$.

Best performance/price-ratio you can get today!

Hopefully 👍

I dont own a OPi PC 2 yet, but i should be able to build the image, then final prep on a prime board. I'll take a look.

Dev branch image, put packages on hold:

apt-mark hold linux-dtb-dev-sun50iw2 linux-image-dev-sun50iw2 linux-jessie-root-dev-orangepipc2 linux-u-boot-orangepipc2-dev

I believe this image will have the same lack of audio as per the Prime board:

If anyone can confirm this, i'd be grateful:

apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils
aplay -l
speaker-test -c2

I'll mark this as completed.

Please reopen if required.

I found a bug (maybe it's know?)

It's not possible to shut down the system, not with 'poweroff' and not with 'init 0'. Only dirty work'a'round is to cut the powersupply.

Next thing I found is that right now kernel 4.10.0 is used.

Lot's of things got introduced in kernel 4.12 (for e.g Audio Codec, Clocks, DMA, I2C, Pinctrl, PWM, SD/MMC, SPDIF, SPI, SRAM, USB, OTG, Watchdog) and the best is coming with 4.13 (right now RC) which should be proper Ethernet support (EMAC & GMAC)! Some as these also apply to Allwinner H3 not only H5 devices!

@pidiet

We use ARMbian to build this image with their provided kernel. Inability to power off is a known issue:
https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc2/

Kernel updates are provided by ARMbian's repo, so we must wait for those to be switched to 4.12+.

[pidiet]

Ah, OK! Good to know! Kernel 4.13 should be released in the beginning of September.. so let's see what comes ;)

But the download archive from Armbian (https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipc2/archive/) is providing Kernel 4.11.1 for OPiPC2 and the nightly's (https://dl.armbian.com/orangepipc2/nightly/) also. Maybe there is a regression in updating?
