Series of Chinese single-board computers
Orange Pi is a series of cost effective single-board computers (SBC) designed and manufactured by Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd.[1]
The technical specifications of Orange Pi boards vary between models. Orange Pi OS, based on Arch Linux,[2] is the officially supported operating system for Orange Pi boards however the boards are compatible with other operating systems based on the Linux kernel such as Android.[3][4][5]
Orange Pi is also a main competitor of Raspberry Pi and their SBCs.
History
The first model of Orange Pi was released in 2014. Thirty other models have been launched since.[6]
In 2022, Orange Pi OS was released.[7] It, by default, comes with the Arch Linux operating system,[8] however there are two other versions: Orange Pi OS Droid (mainly used in desktop applications), Orange Pi OS Arch (mainly used in lightweight applications), and Orange Pi OS OH (mainly used for CLI-centered applications).
The modern Orange Pi boards are also compatible with third-party operating systems, like Debian, Ubuntu and Android.[9]
Orange Pi also partners with companies and higher education systems internationally, such as UCDavis, Oviton Technologie GmbH, and Makerlab Electronics.[10]
