I had a rather crazy idea (in my opinion) of trying to hook up a bluray drive to an Orange Pi Zero Plus that i have a spare of, then possibly set that up as an iscsi target with LiO to create a network attached BD drive. However, I'm already stuck even getting the BD drive to work with the OPi in the first place.
I have the optical drive hooked to an externally powered USB 2.0 to ATA bridge (has a SATA port on it as well, this hardware config was tested in windows and worked great) and that's plugged into the single USB port on the board.
The problem i seem to be having (not entirely sure I'm correct, very new at this) is that sr_mod is not enabled or present. The system is detecting the USB to ATA adapter, and even detecting the optical drive correctly, it would seem.
dmesg output on USB insertion:
[ 561.628711] usb 6-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using ohci-platform

So its detecting it, and assigning it as a generic SCSI device sg0, which I cannot mount anywhere. I think what i need is for it to set it as "sr1" or something, but im not sure the driver to do that is present.
Anyone have any advice on how i can get the BD drive working? Is this just too crazy to even try?
