Hi everybody. I have one of these cards (along with many other OPis and RPis) and I was trying to use it for my Home Assistant installation, but OPi's Debian was not correctly complied so it did not work with ZIgbee USB adapters (and with many other things). I tested the Armbian imga someone put here, but I couldn't make it work.

I tried to recompile OPis Debian and to my surprise it complied without any glitch and everything is working. As soon as I can (which may take some time) I'll try to build my own Armbian image. If I succeed I'll bring it here.

This message was just to say that OPi's Debian is working fine when rebuilt from scratch, in case someone needs a working system right now.

 

Best regards.

Angel

Thank you very much for your valuable contribution and for sharing your experience with the community. I came across your post about successfully rebuilding Debian for the Orange Pi 4A, and it sounds like a great solution for those of us struggling with the official images. If it’s not too much trouble, would you mind sharing the image you built? I’d be incredibly grateful for any help you could provide.

Sorry everybody, been really busy these days.

 

Where can I upload the image so that all of you can get it?

 

Regards.

I didn't change absolutely nothing in the build configuration. I mean, if you want you can just download the source code (it's explained quite clearly in th OPi 4a manual) from OrangePi an just "build". Nothing changed.

 

I hope it works for you. 

 

Please take into account I'm not a developerand I didn't change anything in the code. I mean, don't ask me about the build, because I can't help you :(. I just tested to build Debian and it just works...

@ioncube I'm not sure I understand you. With the OPi source rebuild everything seems to work. With the build sharde by OrangePi in their web there were drivers missing. I.E. the USB Zigbee adapter from SonOff was not being recognised, and I'm afraid that any other device which should use /dev/ttyXXX would not work, because the needed drivers were not in the build.

 

Maybe there are some other drivers missing, I don't know, I just tested with the Zigbee adapter, and it didn't work in Debian nor Ubuntu OPi releases.

 

Regards.

I never said this was Armbian, sorry. What I said was:

 

  "This message was just to say that OPi's Debian is working fine when rebuilt from scratch, in case someone needs a working system right now."

 

Sorry if I didn't explain clearly.

 

Regards.
