Sorry for not getting back to you on this. I got handed a few weeks of 12 hour days at work. So this got put to the back of my priorities. I'll circle around later when I have time to devote to it again. Thanks for all the help so far.

Yeah that looks nothing like the file structure I see. I'll keep trying things. I'll probably fire up a Linux laptop and try from there.

ozarks can you throw your directory listing of / and /boot somewhere for me? I tried using an armbian image that boots on the opi5 to get the u-boot stuff off of it with no luck. I'm obviously missing something.

Yes, worth trying other cards. I'm using an old no name class 10 16Gb card.
I used either Rufus or Pi Imager to write it.
turns out the power supply went out on me. It had enough amperage to power it on but not enough to boot. I took one of my other cannakit supplies for a RPi5 and started testing with it. Now I'm back to the constant orange pi splash screen. with both red and green LEDs on solid

I just used the image posted and the editing of the config file.
Are you booting from UDB drive or MicroSD card?
I am using a card.
SD card. I'm trying some other disk writing utils and card to make sure it's not a hardware or media issue. Thanks for clarifying.

I managed to get connection to the repositories. During the initial set-uo, only my local network was auto configured for ethernet.
I had to add the default gateway manually, which opened up access to the internet.
I still can't get past the 30mhz refresh rate but the Orange Pi 5 is not officially supported, so it is entirely reasonable that some functionality might not be there.
The vertical USB 2.0 port is not supported but then it is also problematic on most Linux distros.
Likewise, the USB-C data port is not detected, which is also the case with one or two other distros and full mainline support is, as I believe things, still to come.
Having some fun testing it though and it is worth other Orange Pi 5 users trying it.
Use the LibreELEC-ARMv8.aarch64-13.0-devel-20250607193042-e5590fa-rk3588-roc-pc.img image and change the config file to reflect use of the correct DTB image.
I tried to use the same image you did on my Opi5 and it just hangs at the Opi splash screen. Can you point me to how you got the point of it even booting. I edited the config in the extlinux folder to point at the orangepi5.drtb but it refuses to post Did you start with a different uboot or just the image you posted and modify the config file?
