We don't deal with 3rd party hardware support. Board troubles are already over the top. Edit: Moved to Peer to Peer technical support

It's probably related to AP6212A problem .

Just read the documentation.

Yes. https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/ Untested - not for end users yet.

I got modules today but the server does not like them That means upgrade costs jumped to 1k EUR. Buy cheap buy twice

All small boards face some common issues: overheating and lack of proper power regulator. Opi Zero (1.4) is a clear winner in this - who heats most - competition. Give 10$ more for OrangePi PC+ or 2E+ if for some reason needs a gigabit ethernet.

Hunting a bug is crime scene investigation armbianmonitor -m at working image, to see your setup, versions, possible 3rd party hardware ... then a screen picture or console log with crash dump information, if any.

Try toggling: https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/fex/orangepizero.fex#L504 Afaik it should work. Perhaps unloading is not working as it should. This kernel is from some other times ... removal from /etc/modules and reboot might be needed. Nobody is working on H3 legacy kernels anymore Modern kernel will be here soon. @Abdullah Seba Technical support is our free will. Our expense and we tend to rest on Sundays.

Board configurations, u-boot configs can be sometimes broken upstream for a single board. This can lead to boot failure - has to be investigated.

Kernel, low-level support which is essential is non-existing (in development) for this chip. Any other Debian Linux on this planet can only have the same or worse support. Usually much worse. They can and they do use our development kernel or the one from chip maker, which I would only recommend staying away ... http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/ Those images were made to fool you buy the board. Minor issues are present only in images labelled "stable". All our preview images are working - we put them out when basic things work, but we don't test them for upgrades. There is a fix on this forum to make this board operational. Do search. Welcome to ARM development boards world If you need a working solution now, get an H3 board .. or rather wait. Board is nice and it's already working quite ok. It's just not ready for end users.

OMG. Why do we write red warning signs on development auto-generated images at first login? Those images (kernel) are not finished - meant for deployment, upgrading is not tested and there is no support. If you plan to use those semi working builds at least freeze upgrading kernel and related packages and wait for the first release. Expected in 1-2 months.

Are you sure that you are using original Armbian image? And for USB automount, you need to use a desktop image or enable this feature on your own. Can you manually mount this USB drive? I don't own any Apple stuff to check.

You need to have internet connection on that board to upload logs On CLI images there is no automount. You need to mount it manually and AFAIK there is no support for HTFS. Where on earth did you find that?

This adjust source version while package remains the same. Source: wpa (2.5~armbian5.33.170922+1) Version: 1:2.5~armbian5.33.170922+1 Source: wpa (2:2.5~armbian5.33.170925+1) Version: 1:2.5~armbian5.33.170925+1

There are also many easy and trivial tasks out there. We have to find and fix as many bugs as possible and we got less than two months for this. Approximately. My motto for any newcomer is: Start with easy tasks. Do what you are comfortable with. Yes, this is one way - start on recognized troubles. Another is optimising code and find & fix what's unknown. https://github.com/armbian/config This utility needs testing and code observation from another perspective. The best would be to work on this with some Debian Stretch image and find & fix stretch problems if any left. Make sure to check this too: https://forum.armbian.com/index.php?/topic/5149-upcoming-release-date-feature-freeze/

I assume you have some win32/ntfs file system on that key? Please provide logs to see which kernel are you use: armbianmonitor -u

UART is enabled by default. Which image are you trying to build?

That's a hack for the old stock kernel which we don't use on this board. We use that kernel on a similar board - Pine64 and Pinebook but haven't managed to adjust it for Oranges or Bananas ... we lack resources and working mostly with a modern kernel. That one is not very far away.

How do you mean? To not make on our own? Changing this https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/packages/extras-buildpkgs/90-hostapd.conf#L4-L5 to 2.6 should do the trick? I have no proper/better idea.

OK. Then I'll simply go up with our versions.

pin-priority is not set ... Example: apt-get install hostapd is installed from upstream ... I can't find in build script where do we set this?

8812au ... and also anything that has Ralink RT5572 or RT3572. Those are not AC but are at least dual band up to 2T2R with good Linux support. I am working on to setup proper testing environment. The current problem is the other side. My router is just 10cm away and I will need to set up another AP. 2.4 band performance is pretty irrelevant in an urban area but our apartment condo has a lot of steel inside walls and it actually works quite well. Except Xradio I have 13 wireless adaptors in a dedicated USB3.0 hub and two more are on the way. The plan is to make some scripts and update the database compatibility/kernel properties. All this setup is early WIP.

Low-level support, drivers for this particular board are under development. Because of that we don't and can't provide any support. If you want to speed the process up, you are welcome to invest into the project and we will hire some people. We already work (more) as much as we can. The final product, the outcome is a stable Debian or Ubuntu based system, with utilities for easy board handling, optimisations and a simple desktop. Desktop (Ubuntu base is currently recommended) has optimized Chromium and some boards have also the possibility to show accelerated video within the stock video player. We also provide build tools, documentation and support. Free of charge. Try to use SDK from board maker Whatever you want to do on top of this is your choice and your cost. According to my information, production of Orange Pi 2e is only delayed and not abandoned.

AFAIK those images are serial console/SSH only. I am not sure if we already have a HDMI out at latest builds since there were a lot of changes lately ... Nightly images are auto made - for testing. They work or not. If you can provide serial console log, we might figure out what is wrong ...
