OrangePi is a series of cost effective single-board computers (SBC) designed and manufactured by Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd.[1]

OrangePi OS, based on Arch Linux,[2] is the officially supported operating system for OrangePi boards. However, the boards are compatible with other operating systems based on the Linux kernel such as Android.[3][4][5]

OrangePi is also a main competitor of RaspberryPi and their SBCs.

History

[edit]

The first model of OrangePi was released in 2014. Thirty other models have been launched since.[6]

In 2022, OrangePi OS was released.[7] It, by default, comes with the Arch Linux operating system,[8] however there are two other versions: OrangePi OS Droid (mainly used in desktop applications), OrangePi OS Arch (mainly used in lightweight applications), and OrangePi OS OH (mainly used for CLI-centered applications).

The modern OrangePi boards are also compatible with third-party operating systems, like Debian, Ubuntu and Android.[9]

OrangePi also partners with companies and higher education systems internationally, such as UCDavis, Oviton Technologie GmbH, and Makerlab Electronics.[10]

Models

[edit]

Only a select few of OrangePi's are shown here, but additional models can be found on OrangePi's Wiki.
