can't start orange pi

syncitium

hello,

there is a week I received a mini orangepi and orangepi for testing. At first, none was starting.

I changed the μSD. With μSD class 10 Kingstone, no card starts. With μSD Transcend class 10, the mini-orangepi start and I could install an OS image via orangepi (http://www.igorpecovnik.com/2015/01/18/orange-pi-debian-sd- image /)

However, orangepi still does not start.

I have 5v power supply - 3A purchased at the same time as the cards on Aliexpress.

Does anyone have an idea to finally start the orangepi?

thank you

it is the same procedure for all orangepi (mini, etc ..). The orangepi starting.

So, should I supposed that the delivered orangepi is dead or is there an other possible trick to boot it ?

zhao_steven

We have sent board that was tested.

ok, but why this board (the orangepi doesn't boot) while the mini orangepi works (even with the same µSD and alimentation) ?

So, is there an other tricks with the orangepi ?

zhao_steven

Can you test Orange Pi using 5V/3A Charge and connecting HDMI ?

Hello, i had same problem. All my powersupplys where to weak. What i did is used an old PC PSU, because these are very good quality. I stripped off the Purple and Black wire, and solderd an usb connector to it, now i got VERY stable 5v 2a output.

zhao_steven

Because Orange Pi need  more telectric current by power charge supply more than Orange Pi mini.  Power charge >1.5A.

Hello,
I have orange pi mini received from momday and I have had some troubles.

tried different images  and  orange pi crash at few seconds.

to investigate i connected a usb to 232 ttl interface to see what happens, this is one of the outputs:

every time when usb power goes ON, board restart or hangs.

I tried several power charger , via jack  and via microusb with same results.
finally i tried a 5A old power supply, and for first time I board has booted fine.

I can confirm you need a strong power supply to start.

@zhao_steven,
I see on board Orange pi mini, 2  solder points labeled BAT+ and BAT-, also  in pdf schematics this points are connected to power manager IC, can you confirm if we can connect a lithium battery ?
thnx in advanced
