My newly received Orange PI Plus 2 gets stuck in a reboot loop, if I try to boot headless (no USB, no HDMI; UART is connected to see boot messages).
Is such a problem known here? I have the same issue with some other linux images from other distributions, but hope to find some experience here.
In detail:
Power supply: Regulated Power Supply set to approx 5.2V (max 2A, built-in analog amperemeter shows max 1.4A during boot).
No cables connected except power supply and UART
I tried various SD-Cards (8GB or 64GB SDHC)
--> The Orange PI Plus 2 boots till USB initialization and then reboots (sometimes it freezes).
If I connect a keyboard and HDMI, it boots completely, I can remove the keyboard and login via UART or ssh.
A software reboot (reboot command on commandline), also works fine(!), but power-cycling results in the reboot loop again until I connect a keyboard.
I left the HDMI connceted and I did not change my screen to use this as input, so I'm unsure if there is a video signal and if the connection is necessary for complete boot. (I want to go headless, so HDMI is out of scope for me).
