Orange Pi Lite Installation

Setup New SD-Card

On a Windows Computer:

1. Minimum Size for SD Card is 8 GB (I use a 64GB SD Card)

2. Format SD Card with SD Card Formatter from SD Association

3. Burn Image with Raspberry Pi Imager. Say NO to OS customization settings

On Orange Pi Lite (I have the 1GB Version)

1. Insert SD Card.

2. Connect HDMI monitor and USB keyboard and mouse to Orange Pi Lite (this is only needed for the first time when setting up everything).

3. Connect power to start Orange Pi Lite.

4.  After a while a login prompt should show up.

5. Login with user: root and password: opl.123.

6. Edit the file /etc/netplan/armbian.yaml using:
   nano /etc/netplan/armbian.yaml
   Replace "MySSID" with the SSID of your router. Do not remove the "" around the SSID.
   Replace "MyPassword" with the psk password of your router. Do not remove the "" around the password.
   Use  Ctl-x to save the file and exit the nano editor.

7. Reboot the Orange Pi Lite using:
   reboot now

8. Find the IP address. Can use Advanced IP Scanner. 

9. Now you should be able to SSH and VNC into the Orange Pi Lite using the IP address found in step 8. On my setup the VNC address is: 192.168.0.12::5901

10. User is "orangepi" with password "opl.123".
    Root access is with user "root" and password "opl.123".
    Do not enter the "" signs.
