Hello! I'm trying to launch a test script on my Orange Pi Zero, node version is 8.9.1, and I execute the command as root user, but I get this error:

> nrf-test@1.0.0 test /root/nrf-test
> node node_modules/nrf/test.js

fs.js:735
    return binding.writeBuffer(fd, buffer, offset, length, position);
                   ^

npm ERR! Test failed.  See above for more details.

Any ideas why is this happening? Help me please.

Hmm, this happens when the nrf library tries to initialize the GPIO pins (via https://github.com/natevw/pi-pins/blob/79c044540a6efa5400b50d524028b013845858a2/index.js#L28)

The built in test program is configured to use cePin = 24, irqPin = 25 and maybe just a simple mismatch with what is available on the Orange Pi is causing this?

(Otherwise we might need to do a bit more debugging with how the Orange Pi distro has the GPIO devices set up. I found this thread which may/may not help if it comes to that: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/1471-solved-difficulty-accessing-gpio-via-the-sunxi-gpio-export-interface/)
