Hi,

I have just got an 'orange pi pc' board and am trying to make it work.

I did download and put on a SD card using 'etcher' tool under windows the following images -
Lubuntu_1404_For_OrangePiPC_v0_8_0_.img.xz
Raspbian_For_OrangePi_PC_v0_8_0.img.xz
OrangePI-PC_Ubuntu_Vivid_Mate.img.xz

None of the images would show anything on the display. The board has a red light which is on, and yellow light from the ethernet con. - blinks and then is off.

My power supply is 5v/2a , I can try to find a power supply with 2.5a or more current - as recommended.
The sd card is 8gb and new.

What could be the problem?
Do the above images need more setup after 'etcher' is done writing/verifying?
Which image can you recommend which has all included after 'etcher' is done writing/verifying?

Thank you ,
Paul.

It turns out the transflash cards that I was using were the problem. I got some new ones and now things appear to be working properly.

Hi friend, try at this tool to make image. Is your SD card class 10?

Hi,
I did purchased several sd cards and the manufacturers claim the cards are class 10 .
I did download the 'phoenixcard' tool.

When I did try to put these images on a sd card -
Lubuntu_1404_For_OrangePiPC_v0_8_0_.img
OrangePI-PC_Ubuntu_Vivid_Mate.img
the phoenixcard tool says- 'script not found; please use new version image'

What is the problem?
Which image can I use for 'orange pi pc' board?

Thanks, Paul.

Try this: http://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-pc/

Hi ,
I did download and unpacked this image - Armbian_5.20_Orangepipc_Debian_jessie_3.4.112_desktop.7z ;

The 'phoneixcard' tool still says -  'script not found; please use new version image'

I did use also 'etcher' tool to put the image on 2 separate sd cards.
Both cards could not boot - nothing shown on display.
What do I do to boot on my board?

At this point I think the orange-pi-pc board that I got is defective or malfunctioning.
What can I do in this case?

Thanks, Paul.
