Noob question: OPi Zero - need SSH turned on

AttilaTheHun

Hi shooreg. Thanks for the info. I've tried the debug serial port and don't seem to be getting anything out of it during boot up. I've monitored both RXD and TXD with my scope just in case I got them mixed up and I'm not seeing any activity.

I've tried using Armbian 5.24 for OrangePiZero, and Lubuntu 1404 for dolphin-p2. The Armbian load goes out and gets an IP address. I can ping the Zero, but not connect to it with SSH. The Lubuntu load doesn't get an IP address from the DHCP server (my router).

I've used Lubuntu running on my PC (through VirtualBox) and used it to look at system.log and dmesg.log. I didn't find any SSH activity (I'm sorta out of my element here). I'm seeing some file corruption, so I'm rethinking the power supply. Still digging, but I think I've got a path.

Thanks for your help. I'll keep you posted.

Maybe sshd is not enabled in systemd (not installed??)in your distro.
-you can get a console of a running OPI over a debug UART (need usb-ttl dongle)
-you can mount your sd card to other linux machine with sdcard reader and modify config files manualy
