Iāve tried both the Debian Stretch and ubuntu Xenial server images that are available for the Opioid-i96 and having issues with startup. The alsa-ctl stuff appears to be removed but I failed to be able to log in using the āorangepiā / ārootā and āorangepiā password combos. I have observed resizing of the SDCard partition after the initial boot. However failing at the login prompt repeatedly seem to lead to more flakiness and I end up needing to start from scratch with another burn of the image to the SDCard. There is a long delay after password entry and then prompting for login again! Using:
OrangePi_i96_debian_stretch_server_linux3.10.62_v0.0.4.img or
OrangePi_i96_ubuntu_xenial_server_linux3.10.62_v0.0.4.img
Is there a āknown goodā recipe for getting to a stable state? I have years of experience setting up and using Armbian on other Orange Pi boards so am normally savvy enough to work through obstacles. Getting a āleg upā toward being able to log in to the system reliably would be greatly appreciated.
Is the initial gibberish on the serial port is actually useful boot-up info just at a different baud rate? Iām away from home, where my digital storage oscilloscope is, but intend on trying to figure that one out when I get back as Iām currently āblindā as to what is failing.
