First, congratulation for the successful campaign!
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 @
https://plus.google.com/110719562692786994119/posts/UAH41JZ9QFN)
" Source code is available but awful. Note that this is not a
Samsung design at all, it comes from a company called Nexell, see
http://www.nexell.co.kr/chi/pro/pro03.html
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."
followed by
"Specifically, this is a Linux-3.4 kernel that looks more like a
Linux-2.6.28 platform port that was forward-ported, see https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-3.4.y/commit/63f124ad876a11b735e369bbb609c8aa05fae1f4
Note that this is a 32-bit port, it's unlikely to ever run a
64-bit Linux unless someone starts a new kernel port from
scratch."
