Patch to enable USB on Orange Pi Zero Expansion Board
1 Attachment(s)
The kernel maintainers do not enable anything that's not directly present on the board. Consequently the two USB ports on the Orangepi Zero Expansion board are not available when using the mainline sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dtb. However, an OpenWrt patch to enable use of those USB ports is available here and it can be used to compile a new sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dtb that with all three USB ports on the Orangepi Zero if that expansion board is onboard. Note that I am using the expansion board in the opi0-expansion-board.png image linked below and not the Orangepi Zero NAS Expansion board.
Here is the patch. The the paths for the dts file and patch have been changed from the original OpenWrt patch as I wanted to work outside of the kernel source tree.

For anyone unfamiliar with how to patch a dts file and compile a single dtb blob I'll explain how I did it below. Consider all lines begining wth '#' as comments and all other lines commnds or stdout.
Code:
# First a little housekeeping.
cd /usr/src/linux
make clean
mkdir /tmp/dtb
# Make a backup of the mainline sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dts then copy the original to /tmp/dtb.
cp arch/arm/boot/dts/sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dts arch/arm/boot/dts/sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dts-bu
mv arch/arm/boot/dts/sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dts /tmp/dtb
# Create a file named sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero-3usb.patch in /tmp/dtb and then copy the patch into that file.
# cd into /tmp/dtb and patch the mainline sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dts.
cd /tmp/dtb
ls

Replace the old sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dtb with the new newly created sun8i-h2-plus-orangepi-zero.dtb in wherever your u-boot is configured to look for it. If you are booting with a boot.scr you should not have to edit your boot.cmd file and run mkimage again.
Code:
mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d boot.cmd boot.scr
