Hello all. Yet another NOOB trying to get his OPI working.  I have the OPI PC and for the life of me can not get any distro to work with the exception of Armbian.  I would like to get the Rasbian image to work but all it does is sit the with the Red LED on.  As soon as I burn the Armbian image onto the TF it works like a champ, so I know the card and power supply are good.  Any other suggestions?

So no one has any suggestions on this problem.  I have tried everything that I can find on how to set up the TF Card and it ALL DOES NOT WORK.  Guess I should have bought a RaspBerry, support is better.

So, your hardware is functional. Have you looked here for information on other distros?
And, by the way, software for Orange is totally community supported, it doesn't have any "home-brewed" distros like Raspbian for RasPi.

Also, a great and cheap diagnostic tool for many boards is a USB-TTL converter, which will help you see the pre-os bootloader output. If a boards gets stuck at boot (and, in your case - it does) this serial debug output might be of great help.
There are tons of such converters costing 1,5$  on ebay or ali.
