I've never had any problem installing to emmc.
Please use the latest kernel and script.bin, don't ...

Thanks loboris
Now it is working fine , I did 2 things , do not know what solved it
1) ran sudo visudo and added user name for superuser access for all time
2) used install to emmc without btrfs file system .
After that it is booting properly

another thing to ask , I want to attach a 5V fan on top of my PI puls , and give the power from GPIO , which pins should I use . Do not want to fry the board.

You can't connect fan to GPIO pin (unless you connect it via transistor). Connect it to +5V pin.
I will soon test cheep i2c fan speed controller, I'll post the results.

Hi. I'm using OrangePI_Jessie_Xfce.img on OPi PC. All usb ports are working now. I have Ralink rt73 usb card, but i can't install it. I followed instruction from here : https://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/rt73 I can see this card when type "lsusb" : "Bus 004 Device 002: ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless Adapter", but I can't see this card in network-manager, in ifconfig should be wlan0 or rausb0. I don't know how to install this card properly. Maybe someone has solution ?

I'm having a similiar issue with Atheros card, from what I've found we need to enable the device support in kernel first. The kernel can be compiled using this github repo. Though I'm currently having problems booting it. If I will be able to successfully boot from the new kernel I can include your modules and send it to you.
If my understanding of this is incorrect, please correct me.

Hi is it possible to bridge eth0 and wifi0, when wifi_AP mode is used?
the "create_ap -m bridge wlan0 eth0 TEST passtest" output:

Ok. I don't know how to compile kernel, I don't want to waste time for it. Please make that modules for ID 148f:2573 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2501/RT2573 Wireless in kernel if You could. I would like to use this ralink as ap with hostapd. I have also raspberry pi 1, i used this wireless card with hostapd with no problem on RPi. Rpi support is better, kernel is good with many modules. It looks like we must wait some time to OPi images will be improved.

As I said before, if you need some driver which is not included, try to find the driver sources and if it can be compiled with OPI kernel, I'll include it.
You said "I don't want to waste time for it", but I also value my time.
