Orange PI One

[dualmeister]

Got me some Orange PI One.

Specs:

H3 Quad-core Cortex-A7 with H.265/HEVC 4K support for $10. Apparently it runs really hot and software support sucks, but where would the fun be Faster than Pi Zero with on-board LAN. OS images available include Android, Debian, Rasbian, Fedora, OpenSuse, Ubuntu with Mate desktop.









Just can't power it up yet as did not get power adapter and USB power cable not arrived yet.

Requires 1.7mm x 4mm power connector

Can't it be powered through that microUSB port?

 

[dualmeister]

Nope.

DC input can supply power, but USB OTG input don’t supply power

Mine stuck at JIMC....ordered the power supply and case as well.

Oh no

I see there is now a Orange Pi Lite with WIFI and no Ethernet, 2 x full USB, 1 x micro USB for $12

2GB version = $ 41.00 Inc Shipping vs 512MB = $14.00 Inc Shipping.

R400 difference.

Too rich for me

Any feedback? How does it handle 1080p x265 playback?

Thanks

Power cable finally arrived.

Not much luck with Android yet. I see a lot of downloads were removed from Orange PI site (which sucks to be honest).

Anyway tried the ported version of OpenElec.

1080p x265 playback seems OK. Also added heatsink. Does get toasty. Fan recommended.

What's the community support like? Better than Banana Pi, Odroid and the likes?

Obviously RPi's community support is tops, so left with comparing bananas and oranges.

Will give it a miss. Glad to hear playback is fine thou.

Resurrection

So my board has been lying around gathering dust for about 2 years.

Since I've been playing with Pi-Hole I thought how could I get Pi-Hole on my Orange PI.
Armbian Buster just released so install and new Pi-Hole up and running
