[My apt search has become super slow recently]

Well for me

 

1. Comment out all lines in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/02-armbian-compress-indexes with //
2. rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*.lz4 /var/lib/apt/lists/*.gz
3. apt update

fixed it

Random time is added so everyone's upgrade requests don't hammer the mirrors at the same time

I guess the main issue is that I'm using a mac and cant see the filesystem, on rasperry pi/ rasbian I could see some part of the fs e.g. /boot and you could do something like touch ssh to enable ssh (which is on in armbian by default which is fine) but something along the lines for wifi would make it easier. I guess rasbian has some part of its system on fat32 and armbian is ext4 all the way or something like that?

 

connect it up via ethernet, ssh in and make your edits

I'm phone posting so I don't have the info in front of me. Just roughly what I did was:

Download Debian Jessie Desktop for OPi3 from the OPi download section. Use the Google drive link there.

Before closing Drive, find the PDF manual. The website link points to the wrong manual. 

IIRC the eMMC flashing script name is in the manual. I couldn't find it anywhere else beforehand. 

Run the script and let the magic happen. 

There are more steps beforehand but the magic incantation for installation is in the manual. 

 

Ah thanks - OrangePi_install2EMMC.sh

I haven't reimaged the MicroSD yet. It still has the first attempt on it. My OPi3 has Debian Jessie on the eMMC. There's also a SATA HDD plugged in to one of the USB3.0 ports currently, but results were the same without it.

 

 

How did you get jessie installed on the eMMC?
