[How to use h3consumption on Orange Pi Zero?]

I want to disable 2 cores, downlock the CPU and limit the ethernet

 

i installed Armbian_5.33.171003_Orangepizero_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.13.4.img via Fetcher

 

but h3consumption can't be found nor apt-get install'd

 

isn't it part of Armbian by now or is it simply not part of the Pi Zero armbian?

 

Because I read a blog of someone who increased the stability of their pi zero with h3consumption

How much current can they deliver? (what's specified on the PSU doesn't match every time with the reality!) USB port on a PC is not recommended (they're mostly deliver arround 500mA). We've an own subforum for underpowered boards here..

A personal opinion: Before start to think about booting from an USB stick, I would make sure that your system runs smoothly with an SD card. Just to reduce possible variables of failure.

 

 

One has 900 mili amps output and the other 1.5 amps

 

don't actually have any tools to accurately measure it though, only read the labels

 

I ordered a SD card, this whole USB business is really just a result of lacking patience

I got it to work somewhat

 

i compiled a u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin (orangepi_zero) with CONFIG_SPI_BOOT=y and compiled the sunxi-tools from apritzel's spiflash branch and succesfully flashed the u-boot image to the NOR flash via USB OTG

 

copied Armbian 5.32.170915 (nightly) to a 8gb USB 3.0 with Etcher, plugged the USB into the opi-zero and turned it on

 

the green LED comes on fairly quickly, the ethernet leds flash as well but it takes a couple power-on's for me to get the heartbeat from the red LED and i can connect over SSH but the system seems unstable and sluggish

 

Could it be the power? i tried 2 different 5V power supplies and the USB 3.0 ports of my PC and it doesn't seem any different

I'm not on any Armbian kernel

 

I'm on Ubuntu trying to set up a opi zero without a SD card

 

no wonder the flashing didn't work

 

sudo flashrom -p linux_spi:dev=/dev/spidev0.0 -c MX25L1605 -w spi.img

assumed i was on the device with Armbian

So basically write a u-boot image to the NOR flash and an armbian image to the usb memory and power on the device

 

i did try that with the sunxi wiki recommended

 

$ sudo sunxi-fel -v -p spiflash-write 0 u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin

though that didn't work because "Invalid command spiflash-write"

 

your flashing method doesn't want to work for me either "linux_spi_init: failed to open /dev/spidev0.0: No such file or directory"

I have a Orange Pi Zero with the MX25L1606E (16Mb) NOR Flash

 

is it possible flash uboot to the nor flash and boot a OS from the USB port and how?

 

All without using a SD card
