Orange Pi PC - at last SOME of it works - but some not

scargill · Published in 2015-10-5 05:14:11

I'm wondering if this forum is running on an Orange Pi - because it is constantly VERY, VERY slow.

I've tried various images with my Orange Pi PC and the very BEST I can get out of it is...

1. No hardwired eithernet - this won't work on any of the images I've tried.
2. No sound - system not ready or other excuse
3. No serial - node-red reports serial not available
4. Reboot turns the board off - does not reboot - have to cycle power
5. Power button doesn't seem to actually DO anything.

Does anyone have a workign setup - preferably Demian - in which the above actually WORK. If so could they please point me to the exact image to use - I've spent well over a day on this and it is VERY frustrating.

This is the Orange Pi PC.

Regards

Pete.

Try this.
Read instructions carefully, everything should work.
In case of any problem, search the thread.
Power button does nothing in Linux.

Yes, I can confirm the above as my Debian image from that link is working very well.

Android image does not work. Or, it works but with lags and very unresponsive. Tried with different cards.

I think many of the issues are hardware issues. Ethernet works on my opi pc but only one of the 3 usb ports work. The android image does not work. The debian image seems to work best. The unit shuts down frequently even though i'm using the power supply I purchased with the unit.

Incidentally, the case I bought with the system has manufacturer errors, too as all of the holes are misalligned.

The case that came with my orange pi-pc is OK

The problem of only one working usb port is the kernel. Use the kernel available on the Debian Jessie thread and all 3 usb will work
