Sorry, put sudo before those commands and run them again. It must be run as root. I'll try with a legacy stable image tonight and see if I can get it operational.

Same thing happened. Thanks

Which kernel are you using? If you are using mainline, I understand than the OTG options aren't there yet.

 

If on legacy, you can try: modprobe -r g_serial

followed by: modprobe g_hid

 

From there, see if any new devices are created.  Full documentation is here: https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/usb/gadget_hid.txt

Thanks for  replying.

I'm using the latest from here https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/ marked as legacy stable.  Not sure what kernel it's using.

I tried `modprobe -r g_serial`  and got: `modprobe: FATAL: Module g_serial is in use.` I tried with the otg port plugged in and unplugged.

`modprobe g_hid` returned `modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'g_hid': No such device`

Hi

I'm a newbie to Armbian and just got the Orange Pi Zero.

I want it to behave as a keyboard on the OTG port. Right now it works as a serial console.

I cant find any docs on this anywhere and I'm not clued up on Linux to mess around  too much

Can any one help?

Thanks in advance.
