    Hi, I bought an Orange Pi 3 LTS. Will driver support be added for (wifi, ethernet and bluetooth)? The board has a chip yt8531c. Thank you for the info. Sincerely, Pavel Votypka

    No, no out of tree drivers are accepted for wifi & blueooth. Ethernet has slightly different configuration thant non-LTS version, so that needs work too... So LTS version is not really supported, unless you can live without network connection.

    I was wondering if the Orangepi 3 LTS will be added in the new version of Kodi. So far I have usb wifi and usb ethernet connected, it works fine.

    Kodi has nothing to do with boards. There is no plan, two reasons:

    1. No team member has a board to test images (AFAIK)

    2. There are only 3 major differences in comparison to OrangePi 3 - wifi, bluetooth and ethernet. As I already said, out of tree driver for wifi and bluetooth is not acceptable solution for LE team. Remains only ethernet...
