Dear All, I wonder if its possible to boot the Orange PI One from USB without an SDcard. 1, In the description I found (http://www.orangepi.org > Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards ) that "cmdline.txt must exist on BOOT (fat) partition on sd card "... for me that means I always need to have the sdcard there to be able to restart? 2, I read some other posts ,which use one or other way U-Boot... would it help and how it should go step by step to make it work. 3, Or is there any other possibilities to make the PI One boot/work without populating the SDcard at all? 4, Under the description on the "http://www.orangepi.org> Linux Distributions for Orange PI H3 boards" I found the description how to backup the sdcard to different targets, but I am missing some information... What software & script & image do I need to execute it... I tried to follow it, but "install_to_sdcard" or any of the "install_to_" missing from my installation I made from "http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-one/"image. Any help here... what I missing on dont really catch from the description. Thanks in advance /R

Hi again, I don't think I got closer to the solution... I don't want to use the debug port or the GPIO to create a fysical interface. What I would like to use USB<>Micro-USB cable to connect the otg port with a computer... And use the connection as a serial interface for communication. So, can anything like that work...? Thanks for your help and patience. /Regards

Hi, I would like to establish communication between Pi One and a computer through OTG Usb to USB. My goal is to use it to create a serial communication between the PI One and the computer to be able to send quick strings from the PC to the PI. I have a program which only communicate through serial com port and I would like to feed it with data from the PI. Is it possible... to use the physical interface to communicate? Is it possible to establish serial communication between them? I would be very grateful for any extensive help. Thanks in advance! Hi again, I don't think I got closer to the solution...
