Hi, I currently run Arch Linux with mainline (4.15.3) Linux plus patches from linux-sunxi on top on my PineH64, that makes USB2, USB3 and GbE work, but H6 support in mainline has not officially started yet... As for the 4.9.x BSP Allwinner has released, it's still in beta and as far as I could tell the kernel at least boots and has most of the drivers for H6...
H6 mainline Linux branches I use:
https://github.com/Icenowy/arm-trusted-f...ree/h6-smp
https://github.com/Icenowy/u-boot/tree/h6-dram
https://github.com/Icenowy/linux/tree/h6-init
for rootfs I use anarsoul's Arch Linux mainline images:
https://github.com/anarsoul/linux-build/releases
Relevant patch series for mainline are atm:
[PATCH 0/5] Add 3GiB DRAM support to 64-bit Allwinner SoCs
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search...i2auihBAAJ
[PATCH v2 0/6] Initial Allwinner H6 support
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!search...eDeQ8mCwAJ
The Allwinner 4.9 Linux BSP can be found at:
https://github.com/Allwinner-Homlet?tab=repositories
if you want to have a go at that...
