Hi there,
New here in the forum.
Just got my hands on both the Neo512 and the Neo2 and been doing some OS installs.
On the NanoPi Neo 512
OS is Armbian downloaded from this site, updated and upgraded after OS install.
Currently connected to the network via Ethernet
Samba and Webmin running fine.
I would like to have access to the 2 USB on the headers
Purpose is to connect the Nanopi Neo to the network via USB WiFi
The "new" 2 USB ports to be used to connect USB Flash drives
1. Initially I attempted to plug a corded female USB type A on the header pins (spliced the cord and connected the corresponding wires to Vcc, D+, D- and Gnd pins).
2. Powered the Nanopi Neo,
3. Inserted a USB flash drive on the header installed USB port.
4. ran lsusb, the flash drive did not show up on the list
5. removed the flash drive from the header USB port and inserted it to the USB port beside the Ethernet port
6. ran lsusb, the flash drive appeared on the list.
7. repeat steps 3 and 4 again, same results.
8. edited the line in /boot/armbianEnv.txt: overlays=usbhost0 usbhost1 usbhost2 usbhost3
9. saved the file and rebooted.
10. ran steps 4 to 6, same results, still the USB port on the header cannot see my flash drive.
--- or maybe I got the steps wrong or missed a step..
Is there a proper step-by-step procedure to enable the ports?
your help will be highly appreciated.
