Can't start orange pi plus.

Good day.
I tried to start orange-pi plus board, but i saw just "A31" logo and board starting to cycling reboot .

I'm used simple SD (32GB) card formatted to use android, another OS (like bananian even doesn't show logo)

What could be a prolem in my case? May be it;s a power supply& (i use 1A mini USB powersupply)

Thanks.

Bananian or any other 3.4.x doesn't support Sun6i.

The only possible Linux is mainline but booting stops at:
Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p1

MMC controller setup is missing but we got USB, UART and CPU detection.

from bootlog:
----
Machine model: Allwinner A31 APP4 EVB1 Evaluation Board
SMP: Total of 4 processors activated (8047.82 BogoMIPS).
Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 8 ports, IRQ sharing disabled

BTW: I have Android 4.4.2 on mine. Note that you have some switch on the board where you select boot: NAND / SD

It's better to use power supply 2A min.

I manged to start my orange-pi. As i expecetd(and "Clemzo33" said) there were no enough power suply.
But if I connect keyboard or mouse "orange" didn't start again.
I just could start tat version of android "sun6i_android_mars-a31s.rar" with Chinese language, nothing more else.
