Orange Pi Prime wired connection is not working


Recommended Posts

Just got mine Prime and installed on microsd Armbian-server for that.

After setting up root password and new user,  have edited /etc/network/interfaces to have uncommented these lines

 

source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.106
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

every manual says it should be easy like that...

but it doesn't work

where to dig next?

If your network settings are correct it should work, but this board has only experimental image(s) which are built automatically, every night from development sources and nobody tests them.  Network adaptor should work, but it's possible the we broke it by accident. Nothing unusual for WIP state.

Tnx! I'll try it. But looks like problem isn't in armbian - I've installed ubuntu image from orange pi download resources and there wired connection doesn't work too...

Can you tell me how behave orange and green leds when wire 100% works? Mine orange blinks every 2 seconds and green flashes chaotically when wire is plugged in.

Yes, I understand, but I don't have tools needed for that. I tried scraping with a needle, but look like solder is deeper under the chip.

And by the way official seller will ship me new board for almost free (just buying tracking number for 0.91$).

Hello,

 

I am new here, writing this post from my orange pi prime. :)

 

sorry for my terrible English.

 

The wire eth0 work, but the wifi not, the armbian not see the wifi hardware.

 

using the orange pi prime img from site, ubuntu or debian (the img that just work in 1280x720) the wifi work, and work fine, the best reception that i see in my live. for idea, my raspberry pi 3 get 53% of signal in wavemon, and the orange pi prime 85% in the same place!!! but with armbian just the wire network is working here. the wifi the system note see the wlan0.

The OrangePiPrime is equiped with RTL8723BS WiFi module.

The driver for this module exist in Mainline 4.12, I've tried it out and it is working.

But we don't wish to waste our time trying to back port it under 4.11, so we will have to wait few weeks/months when Armbian will switch to 4.12.

By the way, do you know were can I found the linux-headers-4.11.1-sun50iw2 ? with the apt not found it.

 

Beta repository (where those packages are) is currently broken - but they should already be installed on the image by default.
