Hi,

We use different armbian images for our different orangepis and every time we change a board model we only point script.bin shortcut to .bin file of the new board and it always work without changing the whole image.

But we could not make Opi zero work with this technic. Opi zero does not work when we copied orangepizero.bin from opi zero image to /boot/bin folder and point script.bin to than file. (as older armbian images do not have orangepizero.bin we had to copy from new opi zero image.)

We tried to boot from opi lite image but wifi and usb (and probably other things as well) does not work.

 

As our image is custom made and we have to change a lot of things is it possible to use our current opi image on kernel 3.4.112 for opi zero ?

 

Regards.

All this is very easy to adopt but we don't provide opi zero packages at our repository. They are for now only in beta repository since we are still working on to improve support for Zero. When it's done (at next major Armbian release) you only change board support packages:

 

linux-u-boot-$BOARDNAME-${BRANCH} linux-$(lsb_release -cs)-root-${BRANCH}-$BOARDNAME

 

In this case:

BOARDNAME=orangepizero

BRANCH=default

 

You need to uninstall older, from the board you are coming and install those. Next you need to play with firmware packages: armbian-firmware and armbian-firmware-full ... those can have effect on wireless.

 

But as I said, you need to switch into beta repository at the moment.
