Thank you for your answer.
I searched for my script.fex, but SDIO wasn't found.
I think that present 8189 drivers isn't supporting this chip (8189ftv).

If you don't have a HDMI monitor, It's necessary to install Armbian and update package useing OPI-ONE.

It's possible to find an IP address of OPI-ONE using netdiscover installed in other RPI.

1. $ sudo apt-get install netdiscover
   
2. $ sudo netdiscover -r 192.168.1.0/24

Copy code

You can login via SerialConsole with this step.
The following operation is performed by the root user.

(1) Backup of boot.cmd

1. # cp -p /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.cmd.org

Copy code

(2) Edit boot.cmd

1. # vi /boot/boot.cmd

Copy code

before

1. setenv bootargs "console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait ......

Copy code

after

1. setenv bootargs "console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rootwait

Copy code

(3) build in boot.scr

1. # mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d /boot/boot.cmd /boot/boot.scr

I found the following image.

Armbian_5.13_Orangepilite_Debian_jessie_3.4.112.raw

http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/

At this moment,There are no links to this image in a download page of Armbian .
This image can use SerialConsole without any change.
Built in wifi works fine.
