I don't need wifi. But without a case, can't really start using it.

Mine: http://sprunge.us/ieXI

I booted my R1 with Orange Pi Zero Ubuntu image. Both ethernet ports work, no wifi though. Didn't find the wifi module.

Good to know. Wondering why they don't put this on forum search page.

Thanks for the link. I did a keyword search for R1 on the forum and got nothing. Silly forum.

http://www.orangepi.org/OrangePiR1/ Not sure how different it is from Zero other than the second ethernet port and new RTL8189FTV wifi. I'm waiting for a low cost dual ethernet box for a long time. Ordering now.

It's shell code. You can type in terminal or put it in a .sh file and execute.

What did go wrong before?

How did you config you OpenWRT network? suggest you put lan section like below and comment out wan section temporarily. Post your /etc/config/network will help diagnose. config interface 'lan' option proto 'static' option netmask '255.255.255.0' option ipaddr '192.168.1.1' option ifname 'eth0'

Without serial console there is not much more I can guess. Does the LED on the board lid up? If it doesn't, it means it did not boot. If you boot into Armbian you will know which LED it is.

Sorry there is another folder from Armbian that needs to be retained, which is /lib/firmware. To be sure whether it boots or had anything wrong during the process, you better have a TTL cable to attach to serial console. Otherwise you'd have to guess.

1. About relinking .ko files. It's just a quick hack because I don't want to figure out why OpenWRT's kernel module is organized that way. I just linked all ko files to /lib/modules/3.4.113/. Just check OpenWRT dir layout. 2. This solution has nothing to do with OpenWRT's own kernel image an kernel module. It's just Armbian's kernel 3.4.113. If you find yourself not able to understand this maybe you need to catch up with some basic Linux concepts.

I used orangepi_zero_xr819 branch.

I compiled Armbian against your repo but after loading the module nothing happens, wlan0 doesn't show up in ifconfig -a, nor is there any error message.

I'm not familiar with Armbian's build system other than use it for several times. But my post #6 above can surely produce a working OpenWRT image manually. Maybe someone can integrate it into Armbian's build system.
