We still have a hope to collect more statistics at:

The Orange Pi PC DRAM clock speed needs to be adjusted before the
U-Boot v2016.01 release, and we still have to decide what would be
the best default. But the time is running out. So if anyone wants
to do a useful contribution by submitting lima-memtester results
from his/her Orange Pi PC board, then now is the last chance.

Steven, if you have access to many Orange Pi PC boards, maybe you
could try to run some tests on them too?
