kodi work on debian,only need odroid version to compile

Care to write a tutorial? Is HW playback implemented as Openelec version?

Hi Jacer,

I would really like to try your distribution, but I downloaded it from both userscloud and mega and the image seems to be corrupted

I'm in China too BTW

Hi.
This distribution may have boot!
But WringPi don't agree fo OrangePi PC board? When I'm start sh blink.sh from example, LED nothing do it.
In readme.md don't use Pin = 0 in wPi.

Thanks to this post by jyotighosh:

I was able to verify that the md5sum of the image that I downloaded is correct.

I wrote the image to an SD card and booted from it (I have OPI Plus, so at first I tried with the default uImage and script.bin, then with another script.bin that suited my screen)

But when I try to boot the OPI Plus from the SD card, it shows the following errors and doesn't boot up (no matter which script.bin I use):

1. [FAILED] Failed to start Modem Manager
   
2. [FAILED] Failed to start A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server
   
3. [FAILED] Failed to start Network Manager
   
4. [FAILED] Failed to start Login Service
   
5. [FAILED] Failed to start LSB: start Samba NetBIOS nameserver (nmbd).
   
6. [FAILED] Failed to start LSB: Start NTP daemon.

Copy code

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I managed to make it boot up by choosing a different script.bin

Thanks for sharing this Jacer!
It's the only image out of many I've tried that allowed me to get my realtek wifi dongle working.

However, network-manager kept trying to connect to a (non-connected) ethernet connection, so I disabled eth0.
In the end I removed network-manager and apt-get install wicd - which made configuring the networks a lot easier, you can see any errors when connecting. Try this if you're having any issues with wifi.

My board idles around 50 degrees, is that normal?

I am trying to use this distribution to learn how to use the GPIO pins.
I'm following this tutorial:
https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/gpio-examples/tux-crossing/gpio-examples-1-a-single-led/
I set up this circuit:

But when I write:

1. gpio mode 0 out
   
2. gpio write 0 1

Copy code

the LED doesn't turn on.
I tried connecting the LED directly to the first pin (3.3V) and it works, so I know the problem is not the circuit!
Help...!!! What am I doing wrong????

I should also mention:
During boot, the following message is displayed:

1. [FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules
   
2. See 'systemctl status system-modules-load.service' for details

Copy code

And using that command in a shell:

1. orangepi@OrangePI:~$ systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
   
2. ● systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
   
3.    Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)
   
4.    Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 1970-01-01 08:03:48 CST; 46 years 2 months ago
   
5.      Docs: man:systemd-modules-load.service(8)
   
6.            man:modules-load.d(5)
   
7.   Process: 176 ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
   
8. Main PID: 176 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
   
9. orangepi@OrangePI:~$

Copy code

I'm using Orange Pi Plus, by the way.

You can also try this one below. But the HW plackback with MPV is not working a.t.m.
http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/A ... 3.4.110_desktop.zip
Using a tool named rufus to flash the zip file to your MicroSD card, no need to unzip it.
Flash tool
Use root/1234 as user/pass during the first boot, then it will promote you to creat a new user/pass and boot into desktop the next time.

I'm using dd command on linux to flash the sd card. Is that ok?

Do you happen to know about any complete tutorials to use GPIO on Orange Pi? My ultimate goal is to learn how to pilot the GPIO pins.

You can try these below.

I have the exact same problem, except instead of and LED I'm trying a cooling fan.

The only minor control I can achieve over the board is controlling the built-in LEDs
See if this works for you

1. su
   
2. modprobe gpio-sunxi
   
3. echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio_sw/standby_led/data
   
4. echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio_sw/standby_led/data
   
5. echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio_sw/normal_led/data
   
6. echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio_sw/normal_led/data

Copy code

If you type

1. ls /sys/class/gpio_sw/
   

Copy code

It lists all the controllable(?) gpio pins, so maybe you could play around with this.

For example

1. echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio_sw/PA7/data
   

Copy code

Should turn on whatever PA7 is.

Also, I get the Kernel boot error with most opi images.
