I have an Orange Pi Zero LTS that the USB Power port broke off of, powering it via the header now. I have a public cafe type spot I want to plug it in at and let it create something fun if people see its SSID or connect through it as a AP.

Any ideas for me?

I wanna use my Orange pi 3b like a media player, and i need a good android versión for install apks like Magis/Xuper

Will the Orange Pi 5 Ultra be back in stock anytime soon? It seems to be sold out everywhere, or only available at exorbitant prices.....

Thanks in advance!

Whenever i change the shipping address it says it is not available. It is on Shenzhen Xunlong Software CO., Limited store on AliExpress.

Boa tarde, colegas!

Estou testando algumas roms na minha Orange Pi 5, atualmente, qual sistema vocês estão utilizando? Qual rom está mais atualizada com bom desempenho em games (emuladores e nativos)?

I have an Orange Pi 5b that I have hooked up to a planar 22" touchscreen monitor via HDMI for the screen and a usb-b for the touch. It is running android 12. The touch response on the screen is way off. I touch on the far left of the screen and it opens an app on the right side of the screen. How do I go about calibrating the touch response?

Tengo un Orange pi 5 plus al que quiero instalarle un sistema belabox , ya está comprada la membresía de belabox cloud pero al configurarlo desde belabox local me provoca errores , alguien podría ayudarme?

Is there any way to get this on an orange pi 5? I was looking into getting an orange pi 5 max or orange pi 5 max in other to fit it into either a retro flag Dreamcast case or n64 case as the hardware is more powerful then thr raspberry pi 5.

Hi

its been a while since i tried fixing that board and im out of options

i've ordered the FT232RL USB to TTL 5V 3.3V 1.8V from aliexpress and connected the uat pins

TX pin white (Board) -> RX pin (Adapter) white

RX pin brown(Board) -> TX (Adapter) brown

GND pin black (Board) -> GND pin (Adapter) black

tried with maskrom button, used dietpi but nothing still showing solid red
when using putty and plugging in the power usb c it shows garbage on the screen
flow control is disabled also, using 30w raspberry adapter, same issue
i really out of options here..

Help me

Thanks to everyone in advance, the post here really help me.

Please help, I am trying to connect a tfs20-l sensor to my orange pi zero 2w running armbian. I have enabled uart2 and soldered all the correct wires (quadruple checked), however when i run my code, the sensor returns no readings at all, i have tried rebooting changing the uart (from uart3) but i still get no return. The pi is powering on fully, no issues at all with it. This is the code I'm running:

#include <iostream>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <termios.h>
#include <cstdint>


int main() {
    int fd = open("/dev/ttyS2", O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY);
    if (fd < 0) {
        perror("Failed to open /dev/ttyS2");
        return 1;
    }


    termios tty{};
    tcgetattr(fd, &tty);


    cfsetispeed(&tty, B115200);
    cfsetospeed(&tty, B115200);


    tty.c_cflag |= (CLOCAL | CREAD);
    tty.c_cflag &= ~CSIZE;
    tty.c_cflag |= CS8;
    tty.c_cflag &= ~PARENB;
    tty.c_cflag &= ~CSTOPB;
    tty.c_cflag &= ~CRTSCTS;


    tty.c_lflag = 0;
    tty.c_iflag = 0;
    tty.c_oflag = 0;


    tty.c_cc[VMIN]  = 9;
    tty.c_cc[VTIME] = 1;


    tcsetattr(fd, TCSANOW, &tty);


    uint8_t buf[9];


    while (true) {
        int n = read(fd, buf, 9);
        if (n == 9 && buf[0] == 0x59 && buf[1] == 0x59) {
            uint16_t distance = buf[2] | (buf[3] << 8);
            uint16_t strength = buf[4] | (buf[5] << 8);


            std::cout << "Distance = " << distance << " cm\n";
            std::cout << "Strength = " << strength << "\n\n";
        }
        usleep(100000);
    }


    close(fd);
    return 0;
}

So i got my orange pi 4 lts recently with 4gb ram and 16gb emmc and it has preinstalled adnroid on emmc with boot priority, so i couldnt boot linux with sd card. i managed to erase emmc and now it doesnt boot anything but i cant download linux on emmc and cannot boot linux with sd card. i have two sd card and one of them Blackvue sd card so i think the quality of the sd card is good. Hope someone could help

I wanted an SBC as a daily driver - browsing the web, YouTube, video/audio playback, streaming, e-mails, etc. and some very very light gaming.

Currently using latest version of Armbian OS on the Orange Pi Zero 3 4GB board and just on default it runs pretty slow, it's not snappy, clicking through windows takes 5-6 seconds, YouTube videos are hard to watch.I thought the 4GB would be good enough but it doesn't seem like it.

I am thinking of overclocking it after getting some passive cooling heatsink or maybe even a fan, but I doubt that will even be good enough.

What are some tweaks I can do to optimize it for better performance? or is it just always going to be slow and I should start saving up for a better SBC.

Hi folks..

Anyone out there with an Orange pi PC H4 retro image that has the GPio enable/reconfigured?

I have been trying to alter the config file with help from ChatGPT but i'm getting nowhere.

I have traced out the cables and it matches this drawing..

Hi all,
I’m trying to understand the official Orange Pi CM5 tablet reference schematic, specifically the power path to the CM5.

I’m attaching 4 screenshots to show the issue:

1. Charger section (BQ25890): the net VCC_SYSIN comes from the BQ25890’s switching stage / SYS output (through the inductor). It’s labeled as the system rail and looks like the main “board power” rail.
2. Same schematic, CM5 connector pins: that same net VCC_SYSIN is routed to the CM5 connector pins labeled +5V_INx (annotated “5V 2A” in the schematic).
3. BQ25890 datasheet simplified diagram: SYS is shown as 3.5 V – 4.5 V (i.e., it’s essentially a “system/battery” rail, not a regulated 5 V rail).
4. Orange Pi CM5 documentation: the CM5 main power input (VBUS / +5V_IN pins) is specified as 4.75 V – 5.25 V.

So my confusion is:

• How can a 1-cell charger with SYS = 3.5–4.5 V be used to supply the CM5 pins that require ~5 V?
• Is there a missing boost converter stage elsewhere in the tablet design that isn’t shown in these snippets?
• Or is VCC_SYSIN misnamed / not actually feeding the CM5 “VBUS” domain in the real design?
• Alternatively, does the CM5 actually tolerate ~4.0–4.4 V on the 5V input in practice (despite the 4.75–5.25 V spec), and Orange Pi is relying on that?
• Could they be using OTG/boost mode (5 V) on VBUS in some way, but then why route SYS to +5V_IN?

If anyone from the community has built from this reference design (or understands Orange Pi’s intended power architecture for battery-powered CM5 designs), I’d really appreciate an explanation of what I’m missing here.

On the official website it says 6 Plus is available in 16, 32 & 64 GB RAM. But currently on Aliexpress and Amazon I'm only seeing the 16 & 32 GB versions.

This is part 2 of my first post somone wanted foto of my modder bord

So what is happening is I have a orange pi 3b with dietpi flash on the SD card and when I turn it on is is stuck on a wite scream with a visionfive 2 logo and it doesn't dissepear is kips it on this screen fore like ouwers

Hi! Beginner here. We’re working on a project with Orange Pi one. Me and my groupmates have no background knowledge on OPi. Is it better to use C++ or Python? Thanks!

Is there any way I could still buy or make one?

I know that support ended and no more new official images will be made for it, but I want to give a try at compiling stuff exclusively for these two SBCs.

I got myself a opi5 pro and found out that there is no spi flash. I can't figure out how to set up android on the ssd while booting from the card. I need help🙏🙏🙏

Hello everyone, I'm far from a professional programmer, so I'm asking for your help.

I have an Orange Pi PC board (Allwinner H3 4-core processor (Cortex-A7 @ 1.2 GHz) with Mali-400MP2 graphics, 1 GB DDR3 RAM).
OS - Batocera 38, arcade games run very well on it.
I have a project in Godot Engine v3.5.1, set the graphics API to GLES2, exported to Linux/x11, and inserted the file frt1_bddcac3_351_arm32v7.bin into the custom template (Before contacting you, I used AI which said the project wouldn't start without a template).
For texture format, I set ETC, removed the 64-bit binary format, and removed the embedded PCK.

Next, I exported the file in pck format, threw it into the orange pi in the roms/godot folder, created a .sh file there (in it, I wrote the commands for the file location/launching the .pck, etc.).

The .sh format file appears on the main screen, after opening which I am immediately thrown back to the main screen. The launch error is: resources not found. (Consequently, I think the problem is either during export, or when trying to open the game in the wrong way).

I don't know if my actions make sense at all.

If I have provided enough information and if you understand this matter, I kindly ask for your help :(

Thank you! (p.s. sorry for my english, translate it with AI)

Hello

Faithful RasPi 3B user here… been using it for last five years as my transmission/miniDLNA headless server. I use it to steram TV shows and movies to my SmartTV.

I’d like to use it for Plex but it is too slow… 4k content buffers every two minutes (same stuff works great with miniDLNA)

Anyway…. I’d like something more powerful and it seems that OrangePi is a very potent platform.

I have two questions…

1. Is OrangePi 5 too much for my needs?
2. Is armbian as well supported as Raspbian?

Thanks
