You’ll need a micro SD card and card reader to install the Linux image.
Open terminal:
cd /home/samyil/Downloads/ |
Download armhf image Ubuntu 14.04:
wget -c http://itservice-bg.net/download/Ubuntu_trusty_mini.img.xz |
List image file:
samyil@desktop:~/Downloads$ ls -lah total 5,0G drwxr-xr-x 3 samyil samyil 4,0K авг 15 22:07 . drwxr-xr-x 34 samyil samyil 4,0K авг 15 21:34 .. -rw-rw-r-- 1 samyil samyil 133M авг 15 22:04 Ubuntu_trusty_mini.img.xz |
Install dependencies:
samyil@desktop:~/Downloads$sudo apt-get install xz-utils pv |
Uncompress the firmware:
samyil@desktop:~/Downloads$ xz -d Ubuntu_trusty_mini.img.xz |
Locate your micro SD card with lsblk:
samyil@desktop:~/Downloads$ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 111,8G 0 disk ├─sda1 8:1 0 512M 0 part /boot/efi ├─sda2 8:2 0 107,6G 0 part / └─sda3 8:3 0 3,7G 0 part [SWAP] sdf 8:80 1 14,4G 0 disk └─sdf1 8:81 1 14,4G 0 part /media/samyil/45E0-A761 |
Flash the image with dd:
samyil@desktop:~/Downloads$ sudo dd if=Ubuntu_trusty_mini.img | pv | sudo dd of=/dev/sdf bs=16M samyil@desktop:~/Downloads$ sync |
Remount two partitions in the SD card: linux and BOOT:
uImage in the partition was already uImage_OPI-PLUS for my board, but to be on the safe side, you can copy the kernel image to uImage.
Need to select one of the scrip.bin file to match the board and resolution you wish to use.
samyil@desktop:~/Downloads$ pushd /media/samyil/BOOT/ /media/samyil/BOOT ~/Downloads samyil@desktop:/media/samyil/BOOT$cp uImage_OPI-PLUS uImage samyil@desktop:/media/samyil/BOOT$cp script.bin.OPI-PLUS_720p50 script.bin samyil@desktop:/media/samyil/BOOT$popd samyil@desktop:/media/samyil/BOOT$sudo umount /dev/sdb* |
Micro SD card is now ready. You can insert it into your board, and connect the power.
boot from microSD card
After a few seconds you should start seeing the kernel log on the screen, and a little later the login screen.

Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.4.39 armv7l) * Documentation: https://help.ubuntu.com/ Last login: Mon Aug 15 20:07:07 2016 orangepi@OrangePI:~$ |
If your board has an eMMC, you can install Linux to the internal flash with:
orangepi@OrangePI:~$sudo install_to_emmc |
Now power off the board, remove the micro SD card, and start again to run Linux.
boot from emmc card on board orange pi
If your board has no internal storage, as in my case, you’ll still want to resize the Linux partition to make full use of your SD card capacity with:
orangepi@OrangePI:~$sudo fs_resize orangepi@OrangePI:~$reboot |
Installation complete, time for hacking !
Upgrade system
orangepi@OrangePI:~$sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y |
set the clock
orangepi@OrangePI:~$sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata |
set locales
orangepi@OrangePI:~$ sudo locale-gen bg_BG.UTF-8 orangepi@OrangePI:~$ sudo locale-gen bg_BG orangepi@OrangePI:~$ sudo locale-gen |
