First boot of the OrangePi Zero with Armbian

gounthar

Hi,

As I told there, I don't know how to log on the Zero after booting with Armbian.
nmap tells me no port is opened.
This version of the kernel does not handle the video output, so I don't have any log message on screen either.
Any idea (v1.4 of the board)?
Thanks.

Find the local ip of your orangepi zero connected to ethernet by going to your router's dashboard page (192.168.1.1 usually), it will be something like 192.168.1.x, use this ip in the software putty to connect to your pi, once connected login with the default user:password which is root:1234, then if you want to connect to your wifi do this :

1. sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfacesoriginal

Copy code

1. sudo rm /etc/network/interfaces

Copy code

1. sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Copy code

copy this, and paste it into the pi  :

1. auto lo
   
2. iface lo inet loopback
   
3. 
   
4. auto eth0
   
5. allow-hotplug eth0
   
6. iface eth0 inet dhcp
   
7. 
   
8. allow-hotplug wlan0
   
9. iface wlan0 inet manual
   
10. wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
    
11. iface default inet dhcp

Copy code

do :
Ctrl + O
Enter
Ctrl + X

then

1. sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Copy code

and copy paste this :

1. ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
   
2. update_config=1
   
3. 
   
4. network={
   
5. ssid="you wifi ssid name"
   
6. psk="your wifi password"
   
7. }
   
8. 
   
9. network={
   
10. ssid="orangepi"
    
11. key_mgmt=NONE
