** find it using IPscan etc…. ssh to it and add:
Sudo nano /etc/modules
simply add tv to the last line of the file, exit and save ofcourse
shutdown -h now -r (reboot) to bring up the terminal

hello, i’ve got myself an OrangePi Zero (256MB). i’ve downloaded debian desktop, debian server, lubuntu desktop, ubuntu server distro from official website. i’ve put all of them separately on a 64gb class 10 U1 card and tried them all. i’m using a 2.4A power bank. but when i power it up, i’m not sure how is it booting up! the red LED comes up after about 6-7seconds, but never a green led. when i’m using putty to ssh the orangepi, i can login and update/upgrade the distro, but i don’t understand why the green led never comes up. only a constant red led. did it actually boot successfully?
the best to run orange pi zero up today, without any tricks, is dietpi for orange pi zero,
small 500 Mo keeps on a 2 Go (even 1 Go sd card).
Download dietpi and look the tutorial :
http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=9#p9
it’s even easier with linux (gparted for the partition and etcher for burning the sd card). After use the tools for setting up
dietpi-config
