My kernel's main integration branch is 'orange-pi-$VER' (this one).
No other branch is supposed to work alone. My defconfigs are tested
and work on the boards I support. Read the README.md for more info.

Only my branches based on the current mainline kernel branch are
maintained (those are usually the -rc# kernels!). You can find the
current mainline version here https://www.kernel.org/ (mainline: ...)

My prebuilt kernels can be found at https://xff.cz/kernels/ You can
use them to test that your board works, or just run them without
bothering with building everything yourself. I run them on all my
boards.

My website is https://xnux.eu and may contain useful advice.

Good luck!
