Armbian Stretch mainline kernel 4.14.y first start. How to log in?

[gounthar]

Hi,

 

I bought a OrangePi Zero, burned the latest image on a good SD card, and started it. I bought a hat with a video output, but I don't have the right cables yet.
So... I'm trying to set it up without any display for the time being.
It looks like the port 22 is not opened, or any other ports, depending on the nmap command I use:

$ nmap -sS -O -PI -PT 192.168.0.15

Starting Nmap 7.50 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-06-01 07:33 ope
Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 5.05 seconds

$ ssh root@192.168.0.15
ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.15 port 22: Connection timed out

At one time, I plugged it in my Windows machine, and it was seen as a serial gadget. I tried to contact it with Putty, but never managed to start a session.
Does anynone have the reference of a cable/adapter I could plug in it so that I can log from my PC onto it?

Thanks a lot.

Just so you don't waste your time, this kernel version does not support composite video output anyway.

Very kind of yours to let me know.

Thanks a lot!

Edit: I received the cable today, and nothing happened when I plugged it in.

Is there any other kernel version that can handle it?

Received my cable.

Today, I finally managed to get it running. Don't ask why, I didn't change anything...
But I am now logged (and have other issues).
