Hello All,

 

I have Orange Pi lite which I would like to use as an Airplay device,

 

I have purchased a DAC of the internet and I am trying to connect it via the i2s protocol,

 

According to this tutorial i need to edit the script.bin file to change the I/O configuration of the board.

 

it was mentioned that this file is found in the boot folder, I have been looking and can find this file absolutely no where.

 

What I have done,  I downloaded Armbian, written it to a bootable SD card, mounted the SD card and then setup the orange pi via serial communication, 

I then connected to my WIFI, and set up SSH. I then logged into the device via SSH, i do the apt update and apt upgrade, and this is where I get stuck,

 

I am supposed to find the script.bin file, convert it to a script.fex file and edit it, but it is no where to be seen,

 

Could someone please suggest a solution,

 

Byron

bin2fex and fex2bin are used only on Legacy kernels, not Mainline kernels ...

Which Armbian image are you using ? What "uname -a" reports as kernel version ?

@martinayotte Thank you, I was using the Mainline kernal, I now installed a version with a legacy kernal and configured the config file, but I cannot get the sound card to work.

 

root@Airplay:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: audiocodec [audiocodec], device 0: SUNXI-CODEC sndcodec-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: snddaudio [snddaudio], device 0: SUNXI-TDM0 snddaudio-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: sndhdmi [sndhdmi], device 0: SUNXI-HDMIAUDIO sndhdmi-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

with a aplay -l command I see three devices but if I remove the i2s sound card and reboot the device the same three devices still pop up,

 

I read that I should tell the kernal that there is a nice device and exactly what it is but I have not found any clear instructions on it.

 

I looked at the signals with a scope and saw that the clocks are present and the power is being delivered, nothing is sent out on the data wire.

 

Could someone share any useful links.
