    How to attach USB port to Orange pi zero Plus2 h5

    Sorry - my fault. The Plus2 isnt the Zero from the Zero Pinout-Picture - so no USB onboard, but the onboard Pinout is the same.

     

    OK, then try to get USB-Extension cable and cut it in the middle to get the female USB-A Port

    or cut a USB-Header cable for a Desktop PC

    and connect it to the connector on the Plus2: 

    
5V                 ==> VCC
GND                ==> Ground
USB-DP2 or USB-DP3 ==> Data+
USB-DM2 or USB-DM3 ==> Data-

    Use together USB-DP2 & USB-DM2 for USB-Port No.2

    Use together USB-DP3 & USB-DM3 for USB-Port No.2

    5V and GND is the same for both ports.

    How to attach USB port to Orange pi zero Plus2 h5

    Hey everyone...

     

    I have an Orange pi zero Plus2 h5. The SD card load and boot is working fine.

    However, i just realized i have no way to connect a keyboard  and mouse to it to finish the setup.

     

    Is there a way around this like possibly inserting the armbian formated sd card into a linux system and changing config files??

    If not, how can i attach a usb port to it??

    Thanks.

    Perhaps peeking into the documentation first would save some time :)

    https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner/#how-to-reconfigure-video-output

    @Igor

    I looked at the docs and I am confused on what files need to be changed after I update with the two apt install commands listed above. I tried to enable VGA on my CubieTruck and when I rebooted, the I was getting a device not found error and VGA wouldn't turn on and there was a wifi error (I read about cross talk with VGA and Wifi with some VGA modes so I expected this somewhat).

     

    I reformatted the microSD card and reinstalled the OS and I am starting over from scratch again.

     

    Can you help me navigate through what I need to change?

    The Documentation is quite confusing at best.

     

    Thanks Igor.

    You are always a great help to me and the community.

    Cubietruck a20 on latest armbian wont boot to desktop GUI

    ahah!!!

    I downloaded this one: https://dl.armbian.com/cubietruck/Ubuntu_bionic_next.7z

     

    the image name when uncompressed shows its a desktop distro.

    My internet requires I login after I attach to it. I will use my phone as a hotspot which doesn't require an additional login and then install the full desktop.

     

    Thank you so much for the pointer.

    I will let you know what happens shortly.

     

     

    It worked @Igor!!!

    I am in the desktop session now and Armbian is running smoothly ---- so far!!

    Then you must have downloaded CLI image (what is filename of the image?) You can install the exact same desktop as it comes with a desktop image via armbian-config -> system -> install desktop (full with browser/or minimal without browser)

    First login even on desktop images is text/CLI based:

    https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/#how-to-login

    I logged in with root and 1234 for password.

    I changed the password as required and setup a user etc...

     

    It then just takes me to the root prompt..... no desktop.

     

    I have two orange pi's running armbian and I never had this issue.

    Just on the cubietruck...

     

    Do I need to install a desktop manager ?

    Do I need to configure something in armbian-config??

    I am desperate here and need to figure this out...

     

    Thanks for replying so quickly. 

    I really appreciate it.

    I just recently obtained a new Cubietruck A20 and I downloaded the latest armbian bionic, formatted my micro SD card and put the downloaded image on it (with Etcher).

     

    The board boots and everything  is good .... until I get to the root prompt.

    The board doesnt  boot to the desktop gui at all.

     

    Has anyone else experienced this?

     

    What steps am I missing?

    Can someone guide me to the proper armbian install for the Cubietruck a20?

     

    I am using an HDMI monitor with it.

     

    Thanks.

    Waveshare 10.1" Display with Orange Pi WinPlus on SPI doesn't appear to work

    Hi, I think there is some misunderstanding how this display works. In order to display a picture to the screen a small HDMI connector is used (or in case of RPi Zero an HDMI cable), while the GPIO is used only to read touch data. So, if you want to see picture on the screen the first thing you should focus is on enabling the HDMI interface on Orange Pi. Once you do that you can then see how to configure GPIO pins to read touch controller data.

    The HDMI is enabled and works right out of the box.

    I have 3 other Waveshare displays with GPIO (5" 7" 3.5") that I used with Raspberry Pi 3B, 3B+, and Zero-W and they all work with display AND touch w/o needing the HDMI connector at the same time.

     

    This 10.1 inch display from Waveshare with the same connector on the back is no different.

    Touch AND display can be accessed through the 26 ping GPIO on the rear side of these displays - I know this based off experience.

     

    Thanks for your input - but, again - based on my direct experience, these displays do NOT have to have HDMI AND  GPIO at the same time to work.

     

    Can some one please help me understand how to get this display working with Orange Pi Win Plus?

    I know a person did it for the Orange Pi Zero. I mentioned it in my initial post in this thread with the link.

    Here it is again for reference: https://kaspars.net/blog/spi-display-orange-pi-zero

     

    Thank you.

    Here is the pinout of the waveshareboard I am using:

     

    PIN NO SYMBOL DESCRIPTION
    1, 17 3.3V Power positive (3.3V power input)
    2, 4 5V Power positive (5V power input)
    3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 18, 24 NC NC
    6, 9, 14, 20, 25 GND Ground
    19 TP_SI SPI data input of Touch Panel
    21 TP_SO SPI data output of Touch Panel
    PIN NO SYMBOL DESCRIPTION
    22 TP_IRQ Touch Panel interrupt, low level while the Touch Panel detects touching
    23 TP_SCK SPI clock of Touch Panel
    26 TP_CS Touch Panel chip selection, low active

     

    Here is the pinout of the GPIO for the Orange Pi winplus:

     

     

    What I need help with is how to map the signals of the display to the corresponding signals on the Orange pi winplus. 

     

    Can someone please help me figure this out??

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure for what is the purpose of that 26-pin header. Official documentation still says you have to connect HDMI and gives you HDMI settings. I imagine pin header is meant for screen management, like screen rotation and similar.

     

    Anyway, 1024x600 is too big for SPI screen, refresh rate would be abysmal. For example, if you running SPI at 40 MHz, using 24-bit colors and utilize every cycle for pixel data, you would have 2.7 FPS. On top of that, CPU would have to SW render it, which is another slowdown.

     

    That guide links to another, which explicitly states it for https://www.waveshare.com/3.5inch-rpi-lcd-a.htm and the likes. As you can see, this one states that SPI interface is supported, while yours does not.

     

    A raspberry pi 3B+ attached to this very interface works just fine (I have even tested it myself. They have drivers for this very screen for the raspberry pi (its there in the support and drivers section on that page which where I got it from).

    However, my particular application cannot use anything less than a 10 inch screen.

    Thank you for your feedback, but I cannot use a 3.5, 5 or 7 inch screen.

     

    My application CANNOT use a R-Pi because it doesn't have enough processing power and memory.

     

    I appreciate the feedback very much.

     

    I am sure this can be done and I ask again if there is anyone who can help me out on this.

     

    Thanks.

    Waveshare 10.1" Display with Orange Pi WinPlus on SPI doesn't appear to work

    Hello all.

     

    Okay: I am a total newbie to Orange Pi.

    I apologize upfront for any and all obvious self inflicted mistakes that you all spot.

    AGAIN: total newbie to the Orange Pi world.

    Please go easy in me!

     

    I have an Orange Pi Win Plus A64 board and frankly --- I love the darn thing!

    Powerful for my needs and I have a niche application that I am working on and this board is really the only one that fits my needs. The 2GB RAM is a must.

     

    The issue I am having is this: I am usinga  waveshare 10.1 inch TFT HDMI display that has the SPI connector (lcd: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/10.1inch_HDMI_LCD).

     

    I have attached the LCD to the WinPlus aligning Pin 1 of the WinPlus with pin 1 of the lcd.

     

    I used this as a tutorial guide of followed the steps to activate the spi interface and have used armbian config to turn on the spi interface as well:

    And .... nothing has worked at all.

    I really want and need to get this working successfully and I need to community's help in a major way.tfttft

     

    The display does light up when I power on the display. I get a message on the screen that says "No Signal Detected".

     

    Is there something I am missing with the GPIO pin configs for the A64 chipset on the WInPlus?

    Has anyone successfuly connected a TFT LCD display to the Opi WinPlus?

     

    The reason I want the SPI interface is because I want dual screens (SPI plus HDMI) for my application.

    *** If there is a 10 inch LCD panel (with touch) that will work with the OPi WinPlus that can be connected through LCD connector on this board, can someone post a link to it?? I have not been able to find one in my google searches.

     

    Thanks all!
