Hi,
Tell us how you connect your NRF24 module on your Orange PI.

On this guide https://www.mysensors.org/build/orange do you followed the section "configure spidev" ?

The main things are :

1 - install sunxy-tools
2 - install MySensors.git

But the pinout of the GPIO on your Orange PI is different of the Orange PI zero explained here : https://www.mysensors.org/build/orange

So you need to modify the script.bin file, with the command "bin2fex / fex2bin" as explained in the "configure spidev" chapter, if you fail to find the right configuration, try to use the .fex file that you can download here :

If you have a Orange PI lite :
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/config/fex/orangepilite.fex

Or if you have a Orange PI One :
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/config/fex/orangepione.fex

then "fex2bin" the file you downloaded, to replace your own script.bin as described in the tuto at the chapter "configure spidev".

I think that the pinout of your Orange PI is the same than mine, i got a Orange PI Plus 2E, so look my setup as explained above in this forum, then connect your NRF24 module like mine and use my "./configure" setup.

If you succes your gateway setup, dont forget than the next step it's to install a controler to drive it, so you'll need to read guide about setup a controler : https://www.mysensors.org/controller

Hi,
Well done finally i used the dedicated .fex file for Orange Pi Plus 2E here :
https://linux-sunxi.org/Xunlong_Orange_Pi_Plus_2E#Expansion_Port

at this point :
https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/config/fex/orangepiplus2e.fex

Read the .fex file in a text editor, u'll see important things about "gpio_config" for H3 cpu :

; NOTE: This section is necessary only for "gpio_sunxi" driver
; which is obsolete for H3 boards
[gpio_para]
gpio_used = 0
gpio_num = 0

I connected my NRF24L01 on OPI P2E like this :

NRF24L01 Port Name / (Pin N°) ----- OPI Port (Pin N°) / Name
                      GND (1)  <-----------> (20) / GND
                      VCC (2)  <-----------> (17) / 3.3V PWR
                      CE (3)   <-----------> (22) / (PA2 / GPIO2)
                      CSN (4)  <-----------> (24) / (PC3 / GPIO67)
                      SCK (5)  <-----------> (23)
                      MOSI (6) <-----------> (19) MOSI
                      MISO (7) <-----------> (21) MISO
                      IRQ (8)  <-----------> NC

So "MySensors" setup is :

./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev0.0 --my-transport=nrf24 --my-rf24-ce-pin=2 --my-rf24-cs-pin=67

Then

./bin/mysgw -d

Return :

root@orangepiplus2e:~/MySensors# ./bin/mysgw -d
mysgw: Starting gateway...
mysgw: Protocol version - 2.2.0-beta
mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.2.0-beta
mysgw: TSM:INIT
mysgw: TSF:WUR:MS=0
mysgw: TSM:INIT:TSP OK
mysgw: TSM:INIT:GW MODE
mysgw: TSM:READY:ID=0,PAR=0,DIS=0
mysgw: MCO:REG:NOT NEEDED
mysgw: Listening for connections on 0.0.0.0:5003
mysgw: MCO:BGN:STP
mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT OK,TSP=1

Best.

@Wascht'l Hi,
Take a look here, to get some idea :

@Reza
after "chmoded" the file you don't need anymore chmod command, run directly ./configure .
