Good day,

I am experiencing the following issue and hope for some assistance.
I am trying to get an OS running on my Orange Pi 3 Zero 4GB, but none of the images seem to work. I have now tried almost all available options and flashed them using both Win32DiskImager and Balena Etcher.

Hardware:
  • Orange Pi 3 Zero 4GB (passively cooled)
  • Raspberry Pi 27W power supply (also tested with other fast-charging adapters)

SD Cards Used:
  • Sandisk Ultra 32, 64 GB SXC I Class 10
  • Intenso: 8 GB
  • 32 GB Pro Plus Smart Card: Class 10

Images Used:
  • Opios-arch-aarch64-xfce-opizero3-24.07-linux6.1.31.img
  • Orangepizero3_1.0.6_ubuntu_noble_desktop_xfce_linux6.1.31.img
  • Orangepizero3_1.0.6_ubuntu_noble_server_linux6.1.31.img
  • Orangepizero3_1.0.4_debian_bullseye_desktop_xfce_linux6.1.31.img
  • debian-trixie-arm64-reu7ca.img
  • ubuntu-noble-arm64-zoze7f.img

Behavior without an SD card or with a non-functional image:
  • Screen powers on, prompt appears, no boot medium detected...

Behavior with an image, e.g., Opios-arch-aarch64-xfce-opizero3-24.07-linux6.1.31.img:
  • Monitor powers on, screen remains black, green LED blinks continuously in a relatively fast double-flash pattern.

What does the double-blinking green LED indicate? I can only find explanations for triple blinks online.
Could it be that the Orange Pi is defective, and should I consider returning it? Or is there something I may have overlooked?
I also have two Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) devices that work without any issues using the same SD cards.

This is the right blog for anyone who wants to find out about this topic. You realize so much its almost hard to argue with you (not that I actually would want…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a topic thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!        Bioma Reviews

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing many months of hard work due to no backup. Do you have any solutions to protect against hackers?        https://new88836.com

This site post is excellent, probably because of how well the subject was developped. I like some of the comments too though I could prefer we all stay on the suject in order add value to the subject!        nha cai uy tin

Have you noticed the news has changed its approach recently? What once seemed like a never discussed issue has become more prevelant. It’s that time to chagnge our stance on this though.        논현셔츠룸
