Does DietPi support orange pi 5b’s wifi?
If I’m not mistaken, the latest image should do. I don't see my nmve in Orange Pi 5 - #18 by MichaIng
I just moved our new images in place which do not hardcode the device tree anymore. Since there is a specific 5B device tree, it should be picked now. But would be nice if you could test it:
cat /proc/device-tree/model
This should then return Orange Pi 5B or Orange Pi 5 Model B or so. And with this, also WiFi should work.
Can I have the path of the image?
Thanks.
Hi there!
I am also trying to get the wifi module of an Orange PI 5B to work. I flashed dietpi version 8.23.3, which should include Orange Pi 5/ROCK 5B | Kernel update and migration by MichaIng · Pull Request #6532 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub
My /proc/device-tree/model however only says “Orange PI 5”. The wifi adapter does not show up in ip a.
Any advice on how to get it to work or how I could help debug?
Thank you!
Hello,
I have the same problem as the other Orange Pi 5b users. My /proc/device-tree/model also only shows my board as a 5 and not a 5b. The built-in wifi also does not appear when trying to use dietpi-config.
Has anyone been successful?
Please try this:
G_CONFIG_INJECT 'fdtfile=' 'fdtfile=rockchip/rk3588s-orange-pi-5b.dtb' /boot/dietpiEnv.txt
reboot
Hi, is there any way to install 5B on emmc without bricking it? Only .img i was able to install into emmc is nanopi m6, but due to differences in hardware it gives me a lots of errors later. Definitely orange pi 5 and 5b images needs to be separated, because hw is quite different
Please try the above. The only difference would be the device tree.
What you mean with “only img able to”? What happens if you flash the Orange Pi 5 image? And in case which tool do you use to flash it?
Hi, thanks for the reply. I use Balenaetcher to flash into SD. From SD it works perfectly, but if you install it to EMMC it bricks device completely, therefore i can’t provide any logs. I was only able to install image provided for NanoPi M6 into EMMC. Using NanoPi M6 image i was able to boot successfully, but since it is not native image for OrangePi 5b, i run into some errors of course. I don’t think it is only the device tree different, because 5 and 5b has diiferent hardware. Of course i tried above solution. It only helps to recognize EMMC, but not install onto it. If someone could provide separate image for 5b that would be great. I think it is something wrong with kernel itself, because armbian for orange pi 5 is not working either. I tried old versions as well. The only one which i could install into emmc was with kernel 5.10
By the way for installation into EMMC i used 2 methods: via rkdevtool.exe and copying SD into EMMC. rkdevtool.exe is the most straightforward: EMMC boots ubuntu, debian and arch, but i love dietpi, it is very handy and i run it trouble free on orange pi zero 2w…
And i’m pretty sure that i am doing all correct steps, because i am able to install dietpi into emmc, just not the orange pi 5 image 
i still think 5 and 5b images should be separated, otherwise what is the point of having different images, if you have to compile everything yourself from scratch anyway
