ironmantis7x 1 September 25 Hey everyone... I have an Orange pi zero Plus2 h5. The SD card load and boot is working fine. However, i just realized i have no way to connect a keyboard and mouse to it to finish the setup. Is there a way around this like possibly inserting the armbian formated sd card into a linux system and changing config files?? If not, how can i attach a usb port to it?? Thanks. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guidol 192 September 25 you could connect via TTL-serial port or you could buy the cheap expansion pcb. Why didnt you use the onboard USB-Port? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Plus2 isnt the Zero from the Zero Pinout-Picture - so no USB onboard, but the onboard Pinout is the same. OK, then try to get USB-Extension cable and cut it in the middle to get the female USB-A Port or cut a USB-Header cable for a Desktop PC and connect it to the connector on the Plus2: 5V ==> VCC GND ==> Ground USB-DP2 or USB-DP3 ==> Data+ USB-DM2 or USB-DM3 ==> Data- Use together USB-DP2 & USB-DM2 for USB-Port No.2 Use together USB-DP3 & USB-DM3 for USB-Port No.2 5V and GND is the same for both ports. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Power the board via mUSB/computer and a standard serial console will showed up when the system is up. Works on Windows and Linux. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
