Hi

 

I only have an old monitor, and I thus need to use a HDMI-to-VGA-converter to work with my Orange Pi PC Plus.

 

When powering the Orange Pi on, the green LED on the board is constantly ligthened. On the monitor, I get a black screen, after 4 s (or so) a totally red screen. No text. No graphics. Then after about 15 s, on the board the red LED starts to double blink. The red screen remains for ever.

 

I have tested the Raspbian and Debian images available on http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/.

 

They work fine with the converter. Alas, the preferred OS, "Orange OS" armbian, seems not to work.

 

Board: Orange Pi PC Plus

Image: Armbian_5.38_Orangepipcplus_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.4.113_desktop.img downloaded from https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc-plus/

 

I'm using a high quality SD card from Transcend (32GB, *400, class 10).

The SD card was checked with H2testw: Okay!

The SC card was formatted (no quick format) with "SD Formater".

The checksum of the downloaded image had been verified with 7-Zip: Okay!

The image was burnt and successfully validated using Etcher.

 

And I only get a red screen when powering the system on

:-(

 

What can I do?

Hi Igor

 

very nice: The new image worked perfectly and I am really impressed. When using the images for Raspbian or Debian, the screen ouput was very blurry using the converter. With armbian, it is razor sharp, right from the beginning. Wow.
