TL:DR
Orange Pi Plus 2e USB ports are not working on newer images (LE and Armbian).
Full story:
Hi. I am Catota and I am new here.
I am mainly a windows user with very little experience with linux.
My brother recently discovered an old forgotten Orange Pi Plus 2e and gave it to me as I was looking for a media player.
It has a functional Armbian 20.02.1 installed in its internal memory, but my brother does not know the passwords for either the normal user or root anymore.
I installed the latest LE from the SD slot and it booted just fine, but the USB ports (used for keyboard and mouse) do not seem to be working.
I installed the latest Armbian from the SD slot and it booted just fine, but the USB ports do not seem to be working too.
I booted from internal memory into the old Armbian and all USB ports are working fine (but i lack permissions to upgrade or install anything because I do know any passwords).
I installed the oldest Armbian (21.02) and LE (10.04/23.01) I could find, but the USB ports do not seem to be working.
Does anybody know if there is something very obvious that I am missing?
Thanks.
