I have bought an Orange pi One, and i need to get wireless. I have an rtl8188 and a rtl8192.

 

Tested:

1-Official android: workd slow, no wifi

 

2-Ubuntu lxde 0.9.1: downloaded kernel and cross compiler... error compiling module driver

 

3-Raspbian: no kernel headers-->Error compiling the kernel.

 

4-Armbian: No boot

 

No hdmi signal, red light blinking || keeps rebooting

 

What shall i do?

 

Does this board worth it?

 

Thanks.

Start with getting started https://docs.armbian.com and get serial console to debug.

I will not spend money (serial debug) and lots of days to simply boot and test a distribution, i will keep using distributions able to turn on hdmi and show login prompt.

 

All unmodified hardware, all unmodified software, multiple sd card tested. This is not my fault. Armbian needs improvements, i'll try again when this didtribution archieve a single thing: BOOT.

 

See ya.

Now it is.

I asked for serial console output to rule out possible board hardware troubles. We have seen that some boards failed to initialize with a modern u-boot which is used in just about every build. But since you rather waste my time than buying a serial console for 2USD this tells me that it's no use to help you.

2. Boot this way:

Good luck with distributions that works :)

The ONLY thing a distro is supposed to provide is BOOT, the distro must the one to deal with low-level problems. If the low-level problems are not solved this is s DISTRO-DEVELOPER-ONLY distro.

 

You will never be any popular if you do not provide a sure boot, most people does not have time to deal with such incomplete software.

So far you haven't proved anything while I provide you a specific evidence that image from download section works on Orange Pi One. Several hundred thousand happy users (don't worry about popularity) are another proof that you are doing something wrong and you refuse to accept. Act upon documentation, react to our bits of advice, ...

 

Except for stock junk (Android, Lubuntu, Raspbian), most 3rd party distribution and compilations are made on the top of our "distro-developers-junk" work. Why?

Thanks for letting us know. We always thought a distro should allow to operate a board reliably which is simply impossible when ignoring a few basic requirements (eg. avoiding crappy SD cards and underpowering issues): https://forum.armbian.com/announcement/1-1-check-power-supply-check-sd-card-and-check-other-people-experiences/

Yes, the distro should run to the next shop and buy a reliable PSU and a SD card that does not suck. That's the distro's and only the distro's job!

Exactly. We (the few developers) are able to use the distro also with crappy SD cards (since we can set the magical 'boot from crap' switch). No one else can do this. Ah, almost forgot. There are also a few thousand users following the recommendations above who you use Armbian on these cheap Chinese boards without any issues. You might think about what's the difference between them and you.

 

And now let's stop. Waste of time. Good luck with another distro :)
