Ok .. Now I have some chips for sale ... in Europe ... ..and OPiZeroPlus is fixed ...

Hello .. I have tested both current release 24.2.1 (jammy and bookworm) on OPiZero, and usb otg not working .. on both .. Kernel is 6.6.20-current-sunxi module g_serial is loaded ttyGS0 exist serial-getty@ttyGS0.service is runing dtc overlays are usbhost0 - 3 ..all looks good on opizero side ... but on "computer side" not.. nothing happened when usb cable is plugged in .. no ttyAMC0 device was created .. no new usb hardware can be found in system log ... ..nothing.. Buster version works well... (my old installation) any advice ..? or it is any "actual kernel problem" .. ?? have somebody the same problem .. ??

..yes I know ... lcsc have required chips also .. ..but ..time ... (and I can recycle some stuff, maybe)

Hello ... I'm seeking for any device(s) with RTL8189FTV and RTL8211E chips. It's does not matter "what it is" ... (old unneeded, broken one, etc.- or any kind of trash) I have one damaged OPI Zero Plus and I can back it into the life ... now actually work and boot, but ETH and WIFI chips are burned. I'm in Slovakia .... Thanks

Hello... after last update, I'm got this issue .. MAC address for wifi changed after reboot ... (and dhcp reservation does not work .. of course) It happen on all 5.15.x 5.16.x kernels .. Armbian 22.02.1 with Linux 5.16.11-sunxi - has problem Armbian 22.02.1 with Linux 5.15.25-sunxi - has problem downgrade to 5.10 works Armbian 22.02.1 with Linux 5.10.60-sunxi - Is OK .. Have anybody same problem ..?? is any way, how can I solve this issue ..? thanks ... for answer(s)...

OK .. but, if you can use another board ... (OPIZero Plus or OPIZero Plus2 or anything else) this is useful ...

Final version..... Anybody can use their own commands for start-stop processes or for bring up-down interfaces... #!/usr/bin/env python3 # Set your pins button = (5) led = (26) #Set your commands cmd_dnsmasq_stop = "systemctl stop dnsmasq.service" cmd_dnsmasq_start = "systemctl start dnsmasq.service" cmd_wpa_supplicant_stop = "systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service" cmd_wpa_supplicant_start = "systemctl start wpa_supplicant.service" cmd_wifi_off = "nmcli con down WiFi" cmd_wifi_on = "nmcli con up WiFi" cmd_hostap_on = "hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf -B" cmd_hostap_off = "killall hostapd" cmd_bridge_on = "nmcli con up Bridge" cmd_bridge_off = "nmcli con down Bridge" cmd_dnsmasq_ap_on = "dnsmasq -C /etc/dnsmasq_ap.conf" cmd_dnsmasq_ap_off = "killall dnsmasq" # Main script import os import sys import OPi.GPIO as GPIO import time client = 0 ap = 1 # Placeholder variable GPIO.setwarnings(False) # Ignore warning for now GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) GPIO.setup(led, GPIO.OUT, initial=GPIO.LOW, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_DOWN) GPIO.setup(button, GPIO.IN, initial=GPIO.LOW, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_DOWN) state = client while True: GPIO.wait_for_edge(button, GPIO.RISING) # This is a function os.system(cmd_wifi_off) time.sleep(3) os.system(cmd_dnsmasq_stop) time.sleep(5) os.system(cmd_wpa_supplicant_stop) time.sleep(5) os.system(cmd_bridge_on) time.sleep(15) os.system(cmd_dnsmasq_ap_on) time.sleep(10) os.system(cmd_hostap_on) time.sleep(5) GPIO.output(led, GPIO.HIGH) print("AP mode is started") state = ap time.sleep(5) if state == ap: GPIO.wait_for_edge(button, GPIO.RISING) # This is a function os.system(cmd_hostap_off) time.sleep(3) os.system(cmd_dnsmasq_ap_off) time.sleep(3) os.system(cmd_bridge_off) time.sleep(5) os.system(cmd_wpa_supplicant_start) time.sleep(5) os.system(cmd_dnsmasq_start) time.sleep(7) os.system(cmd_wifi_on) time.sleep(3) GPIO.output(led, GPIO.LOW) print("Client mode is strted") state = client time.sleep(5)

Thanks for answer Igor .. I'm wrote my own script in python, moved to OPi Zero with poor XR819 .. Better OPi Zero Plus H5 with RTL8189FTV wifi module was burned ... and H5 board does notwork properly with WiringPO library at this moment .. see:

So ... for some time ... Here is my python script, for switching one wifi intreface ... It is first "one-way" version ... The OPi.GPIO library for python is needed. https://opi-gpio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html #!/usr/bin/env python import os #import sys import OPi.GPIO as GPIO import time # Set your pins button = (7) led = (26) cmd_dnsmasq_stop = "systemctl stop dnsmasq.service" cmd_dnsmasq_start = "systemctl start dnsmasq.service" cmd_wpa_supplicant_stop = "systemctl stop wpa_supplicant.service" cmd_wpa_supplicant_start = "systemctl start wpa_supplicant.service" cmd_wifi_off = "nmcli con down WiFi" cmd_wifi_on = "nmcli con up WiFi" cmd_hostap = "hostapd /etc/hostapd.conf -B" cmd_bridge_on = "nmcli con up Bridge" cmd_bridge_off = "nmcli con down Bridge" cmd_dnsmasq_ap = "dnsmasq -C /etc/dnsmasq_ap.conf" # Placeholder variable GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BOARD) GPIO.setup(led, GPIO.OUT, initial=GPIO.LOW, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_DOWN) GPIO.setup(button, GPIO.IN, initial=GPIO.LOW, pull_up_down=GPIO.PUD_DOWN) #def my_callback(): # print('This is a edge event callback function!') # print('Edge detected on channel %s'%button) # print('This is run in a different thread to your main program') #GPIO.add_event_detect(button, GPIO.RISING, callback=my_callback, bouncetime=200) #GPIO.add_event_callback(button, my_callback) GPIO.wait_for_edge(button, GPIO.RISING) # add rising edge detection on a channel print('Button pressed') print('Wifi Off') os.system(cmd_wifi_off) time.sleep(2) print('Stop DNSMASQ') os.system(cmd_dnsmasq_stop) time.sleep(5) print('Stop WPA Supplicant') os.system(cmd_wpa_supplicant_stop) time.sleep(2) print('Start Bridge') os.system(cmd_bridge_on) time.sleep(2) print('Start DNSMASQ AP') os.system(cmd_dnsmasq_ap) time.sleep(5) print('Start HostAP') os.system(cmd_hostap) time.sleep(5) GPIO.output(led, GPIO.HIGH) #GPIO.cleanup()

Nice script, but it's not working on my OPiZeroPlus2 H5 The problem is outdated WiringPO library - from zhaolei More updated library from Orange http://www.orangepi.org/Docs/WiringPi.html can be compiled on actual armbian gpio recognize opizeroplus2 board, but pushbuttons script frozen hole board ... Is any project on sf or github for these boards and GPIO contol ..??

I have aprox 0.3 - 0.9sec delay also.

Hello, I'm try to setup my OPiZero as mediaplyer, and I need to use it sometimes as WiFi Client - Managed mode and sometimes as WiFi AP - Master mode. Scenario 1 Work in "dual mode", I mean, when my wifi network within reach, then OPiZ start as "client", and connect to my preferred wifi network when wifi network not in range, it start as AP+DHCP (hostapd and dnsmasq) Scenario 2 Switched mode, Make any push button on gpio, and then make scripts "to do the job" .. disconnect from wifi, stop wpa_supplicant, run hostapd an dnsmasq. Has anybody something like "scenrio1" or "scenario2" .. ?? (or my ideas are totally bad ... )

Hello, now I have some time to spend it with OPI Zero Plus2 H5 Try to download and install Armbian_5.90_Orangepizeroplus2-h5_Ubuntu_bionic_next_4.19.57, update it, and try to do something (bluetooth player) with this. But, no working BT device after fresh install. So, I must try to do something with this. (one more time) Now I have working script, see attach. Can anybody try this patch please ..?
