Operating system used is the Armbian Focal from this page below.

Install image on SD card. Insert SD card and power up the Orange Pi.

Find the ip address of the Orange Pi and connect via SSH.

ssh root@<ipaddress>

Password is 1234. Follow what the interactive setup requires.

To enable the serial port run the command below:

echo "overlays=uart3" >> /boot/armbianEnv.txt

Then reboot the Pi with:

sudo reboot

Test the serial output with

stty -echo -F /dev/ttyS3 raw speed 38400
cat /dev/ttyS3

Important note. We have not worked on running the usual lcl tools on Orange Pi. We recommend using a Raspberrypi to setup the RPICT board. Then use the Orange Pi for runtime only.
