After a couple of years, I took my "ancient" OrangePi board and found it working well with Ubuntu 18.04 (kernel 3.14.113). And I even did distr update to 20.04. So HW is ok.
I found that Armibian support status of OrangiPi is changed to "Supported" and decided to try the latest image with modern kernel "Armbian_21.02.1_Bananapi_focal_current_5.10.12_desktop.img.xz" (shared image between OrangePi and BananaPi).
XFCE desktop was loaded but USB was not working. And that was the known mismatch between OrangePi and BananaPi HW conguration. So I updated "/boot/armbianEnv.txt" with "fdtfile=sun7i-a20-orangepi.dtb".
But after that video became OFF and board is working only as network remote station.
That makes me think that supplied "sun7i-a20-orangepi.dtb" is incorrect. Does it make sense?
(if I remove "fdtfile=sun7i-a20-orangepi.dtb" video is working again but USB is not)
Where can I get an older version of "sun7i-a20-orangepi.dtb"? (old bin/fex file in old OragnePi images was ok)
P.S. Does Armbian_21.02.1 supports HW video acceleration with 5.10 kernel? And how to make WiFi working? (ifconfig do not show WiFi interface)
