Iam a newbie to orangepi 3. I never had experience in doing anything in SBC's before.

I was trying to learn to create a home NAS with orange pi 3 and open media vault. I was impressed with orange pi as it was cheap and more hardware. Here is what i did which took me days but ended up in nothing

1) Got success with ssh. Dloaded Armbian bullseye mainline image from armbian website. Mounted it to class 10 SD by Etcher. After finishing, no boot drive on sd card. Shows 'SD is corrupted'.  I saw in this forum that after mounting, two files such as kernal and boot files should be present for ORPi 3 to boot.https://redirect.armbian.com/orangepi3/Bullseye_current

2) Same thing with Armbian buster mainline img.

3) Dloaded Debian 10. Mounted. Shows 'Corrupted drive'. But orange pi boots to login and terminal. But sudo apt update or apt install doesn't work as it shows error connecting to server with no probs with internet.

I just need to setup a NAS with this thing badly. I don't know how to build kernal. Iam a newbie in this thing and Iam in a trap with orange pi  with no support to ask for. No groups on telegram. No nothing. Wasted my money on a board which had great hardware but no dev support. What all things should I learn for this thing to start working.

This is the support page.

I have tried Debian and Armbian mainline versions but left is linux source code, android. But, fed up

Can somebody help me. Iam crying . I can't waste a board.

Moved to P2P help.

I am a newbie

Spent some time here:

https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/

and proceed as stated in documentation, get another SD card - it could be faulty. Stick to https://redirect.armbian.com/orangepi3/Bullseye_current and make print screen on where error happens.

Nothing

I have tried many discs, usbs to read that file. Nothing happening than saying successfully flashed But trying to open file says unrecognised files for bullseye current version also

No serial output also.🧐😩

Double, triple check all basic things like Igor linked to.  Power and media, it's almost always one of those problems.

 

On a more personal note, try and relax and enjoy the process.  Like solving a puzzle.

 

Keep us posted on your progress, and good luck.
