  1. Nearly a year later, and other people asking me in my inbox if I got it to work. 

    No I didn't, I'm still on SPI + USB, but if anybody got it to work, please post it here so me and others can get this to work :)

  2. Ok I can confirm that my
    Orange PI Plus 2 upgrade from Headless Ubuntu 5.36to 5.38 (Stable) worked without problems.

    Orange PI Plus 2E upgrade from Headless Ubuntu 5.37 (nightly) to 5.38 (nightly) worked without problems.

    So looks like the legacy images are the problem :/

  3. Looking in the forums for a few days and reading up on a lot of stuff, I got the zero to boot from spi and USB, fairly easy once you got the right commands, and replacing "linux-u-boot-next-orangepipc2_5.34_arm64" with the version on the image for the board.

    The procedure didn't really change, you need to activate the spi-jedec-nor overlay in /boot/armbianEnv.txt :

    overlays=spi-jedec-nor

    param_spinor_spi_bus=0

    Then, after reboot, you should get from "cat /proc/mtd", something like that :
    dev: size erasesize name

    mtd0: 00200000 00001000 "spi0.0"
    Then

    cat /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-next-orangepipc2_5.34_arm64/sunxi-spl.bin /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-next-orangepipc2_5.34_arm64/u-boot.itb > /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-next-orangepipc2_5.34_arm64/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

    and flash with

    flashcp /usr/lib/linux-u-boot-next-orangepipc2_5.34_arm64/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin /dev/mtd0


    The I tried NFS shares and that worked fine to, but now I want to boot directly from another server, providing different folders for each board that I have and use spi for the boot. 
    The reading the forum again to find out more about NFS booting, and mostly found this "hurray I got it to work" then kind of leaving the rest of us hanging there thinking HOW??? :D

    I was then reading about uboot and found out that it have ethernet enabled, so guess it´s prepared for this kind of booting.
    So I need to change something in uboot so it will know what ip and folder to look after, since I'm looking into booting different boards?

    Oh and heres a picture of my crazy project.

    This whole stuff looks interesting. My only concern is the rather outdated kernels they use (for Raspberry Pi it's 4.4.50 and for the Oranges 3.4.113 -- at least I don't like to run stuff that matters with that outdated kernels)

     

    fulvio (The man behind Zeroshell) Are looking into migrating to Kernel 4.13.x

    The project looks damn cool.

    same here, like I said, thats why I wont use the pulpstone image, but if they are using Armbian, then maybe they will update in the near future. 


  6. The old kernel is the reason I didn't use the pulpstone image, it do work on the R1 (wifi doesn't)  but the old kernel is a no go. and looking around it seems that openwrt and the mainline kernel is not an option yet. 
     

  7. Oh well, we are all mad in here :D

    Here is my expandable IoT backend with 4 Zeros, 1 R1 and a C.H.I.P.
    Going to be expanded with some new ZeroPlus. Why ? For fun :D

    And yes openwrt is in the planing with the R1 so I can run them all away from my "private" network.


     

  8. I did it, and never got it stable, It can run for 14 days, it can run for a few hours, BUT IT WILL CRASH.

    You need to configure your /etc/network/interfaces. to get it to work. Delete everything in it and set it up as you normally would and it should work.  Right now you have probably just set up the wifi in there, but you need to add the eth to with either a dhcp or static setup.
     

    I guess you used the adafruit guide

    is ARMBIAN stable and does it has any issues?

    I'm using the Orange PI Plus2 as a MineCraft and Node-Red server with the newest Kernel from armbian (ARMBIAN 5.34.171116 nightly Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 4.13.12-sunxi  ) and so far no problems at all, haven't testet Wi-Fi, but it´s running great, It never crashes, it never overheats, even when the kids are releasing a few thousand animals and the cpu is running for hours at max speed and hitting around 60C. I startet out with the Lobonto image before finding armbian, and it was really bad, the thing constantly overheatet and I was about to throw the thing in the bin.

    The Orange PI Plus2E is running Wordpress + NextCloud + Node-Red, and the story is the same here.

    Then I have 4 Orange PI Zero H2+, and they run great to with no crashes, just as long as I dont use the Wi-Fi. But thats not Armbian that is the issue as far as I know, It´s just a bad chip design that cant handle anything.

    I really hope the boardmakers are supporting Armbian, because without these developers, the boards would be worthless for most users. 


     

  10. This is not to demand the devs to make the board work, I know your quite hang up on maintaining Armbian and the massive collection of boards. But I searched the forum to see if I could find it, and didn't find anything. So yeah well here is the thread about this board, in case others do a forum search. The board looks promising, but it would have been great with emmc on it, somehow they just cant get it right with these boards :D
    And if or when you need something testet, I'll be happy to help.

    And thx for your massive work.

    PS I'm blind, there was a topic here:

  11. Just installed Next kernel to see the temps. Im running passive cooling on the CPU, and on the SD-card holder (yes that one actually gets damn hot on the Orange PI Zero, so a heatsink there works), and your temp is 20C above mine.

    If I can help in any way since I got the board, do say so. :)

  12. This is mine with your IP and Gateway.  notice the # in front of source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

    # All interfaces are handled by network-manager, use nmtui or nmcli on

    allow-hotplug eth0

    iface lo inet loopback

    iface eth0 inet static

  13. If you do an apt-get upgrade you loose the wifi, the image called Armbian_5.27.170601_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_xenial_dev_4.11.1 works fine and I have it running on EMMC for 19.8 hours and getting close to 250.000 MQTT calls without problems. I used a cheap serial board called CJMCU CP2102 MICRO USB to UART TTL from aliexpress to connect to the board through PUTTY

    And I'm powering it up with GPIO 4 (5volt) and GPIO 6 (Ground)
