[installing OP5 NMVE boot]

@royk

Yeah! There is a few different ways to swap the boot loader. 

Sometimes after testing Android on the nvme. The boot system will not let me run Linux again on a nvme. So I keep the Debian cli handy for basic command line. 

 

Note: 99% of my installs are done with Raspberry pi imager . Erase, burn, done. 

LOL... 

 

 

[installing OP5 NMVE boot]

I am not sure why it is so difficult. 

Here is what I do to boot from the nvme. 

 

Install the official orange pi 5 Debian server on a sd card. 

On the command line, sudo orange pi-config. 

Change the boot to nvme. 

Install Armbian on nvme. (use Raspberry Imager) 

Remove sd card and boot from the nvme. 

Waa laa! 

[armbian jammy 23.5 cli orangepi5 unable to reboot]

I am using the Opi5 official website image 5-31-2023. And do not have the reboot issue. 

(sudo reboot) 

 

EDIT: sorry I just noticed you are running cli. I am using gnome desktop. 

[Orange Pi 5 Plus]

The Opi5 + is nice. 

But what is the point of buying it if there is no support for rk3588. 

I am just a novice when it comes to Linux 

 

 There is no Linux that can do anything but running a basic gnome desktop on the the Opi5, maybe in 2024. 

 

I guess flooding the market with rk3588 might move it along in time. 

 

There is no reason to use cli, when a Opi zero 2 or an rpi3 can do a better job. 

Example ; Opi zero 2 running OMV. 

 

 

 

 

[App install help, opinion....]

For some odd unknown reason. I can not get the following installed and running. 

(using official os for Opi5) 

 

1- A virtual machine running on armbian. 

 

2- Dolphin emu 

 

3- Waydroid

AI. D

You need to add the common Kodi repository from the linux software/app store first. 

I forget what the default app store is for  Linux Armbian. (Snap, Flatpak, etc..)

@royk

I tried to run the Ubuntu kodi, but I get the green screen. 

My guess is that Wayland needs to be enabled. 

 

Oh! By the way. I am referring to the official Op5 Ubuntu build on the Opi website. 

[[GUIDE] Kodi on Orange Pi 5 with GPU Hardware Acceleration and HDMI Audio]

The newest Ubuntu image for Op5 has Kodi built in and installed. 

 

Maybe some of the Ubuntu technics can be add to Armbian. 

[[GUIDE] Kodi on Orange Pi 5 with GPU Hardware Acceleration and HDMI Audio]

I followed the guide in post #1. 

And it installs Kodi 19.4.

I can I upgrade to version 20.0?

[[GUIDE] Kodi on Orange Pi 5 with GPU Hardware Acceleration and HDMI Audio]

I can not get the kodi add-ons to work. 

Even the default add-ons that come with Kodi are missing. 

 

If I try to add an addon manually, kodi will reject the addon.
