Automatic boot of Orange Pi 5 Plus on Power On

[Igor V]

I have Orange Pi 5 Plus that I plan to install in a remote location. To boot Orange Pi, I need to press the physical Power On button. How I can setup the machine to boot automatically once the power is supplied? There is nobody on the remote side to press this button. Or maybe there are other options to boot remotely like WakeOnLAN?

 

Where it can be configured? In orangepi-config?

What images are you using? Armbian ships armbian-config while orangepi-config is a copycat.

 

Edit: Just tested with mine, it powers on automatically.

I want to install Armbian, but faced with the problem that machine isn't started on Armbian SD image. I found on your instructions that I need to update SPI first, so plan to do that, just need to understand if I can reach the goal.

 

I tried Joshua Riek's Ubuntu image and Orange Pi official Arch distribution, but didn't find any orangepi-config and other config utilities, but I saw that Armbian has the one. So ther question is - can I setup auto boon on power on with Armbian?

Just now, Igor V said:

I am not aware that this can or needs to be setup in any way. I just boots up when power is connected. I did not test with microsd (I use SPI/NVMe) but I assume it works the same way.

Thank you, Werner. I will give it another try (I'm new to SBC) and going to install Armbian.
