<p>First, congratulation for the successful campaign!<br>

About "Exynos Octa-Core 28 nm SoC used in the NanoPi3". That's a
Nexell processor rebranded as Samsung, and Linux support is very
poor according to Arnd Bergmann, ARM SoC maintainer (See comment @

<p>" Source code is available but awful. Note that this is not a
Samsung design at all, it comes from a company called Nexell, see

It's probably not a bad chip at all, but it has zero upstream
Linux support (unlike the real Samsung chips that generally just
work), so you are stuck with whatever kernel version you get."</p>
