Hi @Cumulus,
It has been a while since you wrote this message, so I guess you solved it by now.
I have an Orange Pi Lite and I recently bought a Waveshare e-Paper 2.13" V2.
After a few hours and some reading on the internet, I found the right modifications to make it work with that setup.
Feel free to have a look at https://github.com/Masatrad-com/e-Paper/tree/master/OrangePi
