Does V2 have all those features on OPi+?

opi-plus_lobo_Android_v2.img.xz is repacked with OPI-PLUS fex and it probably works with OPI+
I don't have OPI+ to test it. Please, try it yourself.

You still use the orig uImage (kernel) from this sunchipboard.
Is this wanted or ....?
If yes, wor ...

probably no owner of opi plus uses the opi plus image if no one would notice that Ethernet does not work.

I tested V2, but I have only a TV with HDMI input, that is far from a network plug. And the Orange Pi Plus cannot be connected to a DVI monitor, that is near to the network plug.
Could be possible in the future to have the HDMI connection working on a DVI monitor? Currently I cannot use the Orange Pi Plus because I have to use it with the DVI monitor.

Having some 'issues' with this image - as previous poster commented, but got no reply.
Don't know if this is simply a problem with my system or SDCards or card readers - but I'm sure someone will be able to help.

Tried burning the OP+ v2 image to SD card, appears to work okay - although the card is formatted FAT32, there appears to be nothing on it...

When I insert into OP+ I get the Smart your Life logo, and nothing - just sits there.

Tried USB3.0 Kingston card reader, and an old unbranded USB2.0 reader - with my 3 SD cards, a 32GB SanDisk class 10, a Samsung 32GB class 10 and an unbranded 2GB unclassified.  I even reinstalled Windows 7 onto my laptop to try the card reader on that - and it failed even more.

The cards appear to format and write fine, but when I eject them and put them back in the card reader - the FAT partition is empty - 0 space used.

I've tried using Pheonixcard 3.1 and tonight downloaded and tried Pheonixcard 3.09 - still exactly the same...wasn't sure if it was because I was using Windows Server 2008 R2, so tried on a newly buily Windows 7 Pro x64 build...same.

Can someone confirm or let me know what should be on the card after the burn process - because it looks like it's burning maybe the MBR - but none of the system files.  Maybe an image from a win32 sd card might fix this issue...?

Also tried the other Android image that is in another thread - that crashes Pheonixcard every time...also tried the original image from Steven - card is blank.

Also tried extracting the image and repacking - no change, and replaced the fex files as suggested - still getting a blank SD card.

Any ideas at all?

Ideally I would prefer to get this working with linux and HW support, but as that looks a way off - I thought I'd settle for Android if I could get the Play Store and sort out the resolution on Kodi...plays fine, but it looks shit in the desktop.

Thanks for any pointers!  Appreciate your time and effort!

Are you sure that you have selected Startup in phoenixcard before burning image?

shwan

Yeah SunXI positive - I work in IT, and I'm following the instructions to the letter... should there be something on the card that I can see when it has been burned, or not?
I will make a serial cable tonight after work and see if there is any output from the thing while it's booting.

Will also see if I can get some more different sized SD cards...

If it for me - sure. But now try again.

@shwan It is normal that the SDCard apears blank after burning, the partitions are created during the initialization proces.
If you get the logo, it means the initialization is started, and it can take more then 5 minutes to finish (only first run).
You can try to format the card with PhoenixCard as Normal, then remove it, insert again, reject windows offer to format the card if it apears, then burn in Startup mode.
I've never had any problem (I'm running windows 8.1 in VirtualBox on Linux host).

I will upload scripts to prepare the SD Card under Linux (without PhoenixCard) soon.
