Software: Please use the Armbian images found on http://www.armbian.com/ or http://share.loverpi.com/downloads/opi/pc/
They provide the latest community images based on Debian. Do not use the Raspbian image from Raspberry Pi as it is not compatible. Raspbian does not have out of the box support for any board other than Raspberry Pi. Raspbian images for the Orange Pi are based on ARMv6 older code and runs slower on ARMv7 chips like the Allwinner H3.
