  1. After I got my OPiPC+ to finally boot without HDMI, it wouldn't boot in my shop.

     

    I originally had it in the bedroom because that's where a convenient HDMI TV was AND that's where the U-Verse router is.

     

    In the shop, it went through an HP Procurve 2626 switch but would hang early in the boot process.

    Logged into the switch and found that most ports were set to "100FDpx".

    I changed the Pi port to "Auto100" and within seconds, the Pi was booting. Yay!

     

    Most people won't have such a problem using ordinary switches.

    A year ago, I needed more ports in the shop and got a great deal on this one locally.

    I didn't need 24 ports or the feature set but it was $40.00.

    Turns out, some of the features have been very helpful.
    An old Milan print server for my grocery list printer wouldn't work on anything but "10HDpx".

     

  2. Download sunxi-tools tool:

    git clone git://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools.git

    cd sunxi-tools

    make

      ...yadayada

      you might have errors but look for "sunxi-fexc"

    cp /boot/bin/orangepipcplus.bin .

    sunxi-fexc -I bin -O fex orangepipcplus.bin orangepipcplus.fex

    nano orangepipcplus.fex

     

    Line 354: (yours may be different.)

      hdmi_used = 1

     to

      hdmi_used = 0

     

    Convert back to .bin with:

    sunxi-fexc -I fex -O bin orangepipcplus.fex orangepiEES.bin

    cp orangepiEES.bin /boot/bin/

    cd /boot/bin/

    mv orangepipcplus.bin orangepipcplus.not

    mv orangepiEES.bin orangepipcplus.bin

     

    reboot

     

     

     

  3. This worked for me today on an OPi PC Plus:

     

    Download sunxi-tools tool:

    git clone git://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-tools.git

    cd sunxi-tools

    make

      ...yadayada

      you might have errors but look for "sunxi-fexc".

    If it's there, continue. If not, sorry I wasted your time. :(

    cp /boot/bin/orangepipcplus.bin .

    sunxi-fexc -I bin -O fex orangepipcplus.bin orangepipcplus.fex

    nano orangepipcplus.fex

     

    Line 354: (yours may be different.)

      hdmi_used = 1

     to

      hdmi_used = 0

     

    Convert back to .bin with:

    sunxi-fexc -I fex -O bin orangepipcplus.fex orangepiEES.bin

      cp orangepiEES.bin /boot/bin/

      cd /boot/bin/

      mv orangepipcplus.bin orangepipcplus.not

      mv orangepiEES.bin orangepipcplus.bin

     

    reboot
