Hi.
Thanks for great work. 👍

I have an error in the process of writing firmware to SPI, maybe you could help me to solve it.

Hardware:

• Orange Pi Zero LTS 512 MB
• Onboard SPI chip MX25L1606E - 16 MB

Software:

• Main image - https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/19.07.7/targets/sunxi/cortexa7/openwrt-19.07.7-sunxi-cortexa7-sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero-ext4-sdcard.img.gz
• dtb file - https://github.com/melsem/openwrt-19.07.7-spi/blob/master/sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero-lts-dtb
• uboot file - https://github.com/melsem/openwrt-19.07.7-spi/blob/master/sun8i-h2-plus_orangepi-zero-lts-boot.bin
• firmare file - https://github.com/melsem/openwrt-19.07.7-spi/blob/master/sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero-lts-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

What I did:

1. Flash image on SD card. Replaced original dtb file with your's. Also put mkdir on SD, and put here dt, uboot, firmware files.
2. Boot from SD successfully. Mount SD card, copy 3 files to /tmp folder.
3. Change work directory to /tmp and run

mtd -e uboot write sun8i-h2-plus_orangepi-zero-lts-boot.bin uboot
mtd -e dtb write sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero-lts-dtb dtb
mtd -e firmware write sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero-lts-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin firmware

uboot and dtb finishing with no errors, but firmware always returns [e]Failed to erase block.

I tried to erase the firmware separately mtd erase firmware - there are no errors. But when I try to write - I get erase block error.
When I try to boot it seems that device in something like recovery mode, - network LEDs acts, but no IP address at all.

I have also tried using the files from the classic Orange Pi Zero as described on the main repository page. I did not get success, which is expected. 😁

What am I doing wrong?

Hi!
what is the magic behind your work? i can build my own image for an Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS and run it via MMC, but how can i build the files you are distributed in your repo: boot.bin and an dtb, how can i create this files by my own for an Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS?

any hints? thx!

Hello
Thanks for your work. I have a OPi Zero 2MB SPI version. Is it possible to install the image on it. Is it possible to use WiFi on the SD version?
MfG Steve

I'm trying to build my own image using instruction placed here but I have some errors.
Maybe you could help?

I am using Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and trying to build image for Orange Pi Zero LTS.
I have installed all listed tools, cloned this repository, installed python 2.7 to use in virtual environment. After that updated feeds, installed feeds, selecter Orange Pi Zero LTC using menuconfig and tried to build using make.

I have been using next commands:

• sudo apt install gcc binutils bzip2 flex perl make findutils grep diffutils unzip gawk util-linux subversion libz-dev linux-libc-dev - log file
• git clone https://github.com/melsem/openwrt-19.07.7-spi.git
• cd openwrt-19.07.7-spi/
• sudo apt install python2
• curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py
• sudo python2 get-pip.py
• sudo apt install virtualenv
• virtualenv --python=python2 myenv
• source myenv/bin/activate
• ./scripts/feeds update -a - log file
• ./scripts/feeds install -a - log file
• make menuconfig - log file
• make -j1 V=sc - log file

Update and install feeds commands return some warnings about dependencies which could not be found. menuconfig also adds some lines about "recursive dependency detected".
Do I understand correctly that you should not pay attention to these warnings?
But when I run the build using make - I get errors that I don't know how I can fix because I don't understand the error itself.
I have posted full log files on pastebin and attached links.

I will appreciate any help

Hi,
I followed your instructions and successfully managed to get the boot over SPI.
Quick question, how do I rollback to uSD boot?

Thanks
