Have you copied generated lib/modules ?
GitHub repo updated. You can now generate also the script. ...

Yep, I tried copying them and then booting or booting with the old ones, both had the same kernel panic.
Thank you for updating github

I have only one line in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
(the lines with # are comments)

orangepi@OrangePI:~$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan0"

Copy code

Replace "xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" with your MAC address.

It looks like two wlan interfaces are created automaticaly for OPI wifi adapter, wlan0 & wlan1
Both can be connected and each get its own IP address:

That is exactly what I`m talking about. Already have the right MAC.

I've never had any problem installing to emmc.
Please use the latest kernel and script.bin, don't ...

Thanks loboris
Now it is working fine , I did 2 things , do not know what solved it
1) ran sudo visudo and added user name for superuser access for all time
2) used install to emmc without btrfs file system .
After that it is booting properly

another thing to ask , I want to attach a 5V fan on top of my PI puls , and give the power from GPIO , which pins should I use . Do not want to fry the board.

You can't connect fan to GPIO pin (unless you connect it via transistor). Connect it to +5V pin.
I will soon test cheep i2c fan speed controller, I'll post the results.

Hi. I'm using OrangePI_Jessie_Xfce.img on OPi PC. All usb ports are working now. I have Ralink rt73 usb card, but i can't install it. I followed instruction from here : https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/rt73 I can see this card when type "lsusb" : "Bus 004 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter", but I can't see this card in network-manager, in ifconfig should be wlan0 or rausb0. I don't know how to install this card properly. Maybe someone has solution ?

I'm having a similiar issue with Atheros card, from what I've found we need to enable the device support in kernel first. The kernel can be compiled using this github repo. Though I'm currently having problems booting it. If I will be able to successfully boot from the new kernel I can include your modules and send it to you.
If my understanding of this is incorrect, please correct me.
