#orange-pi-5 — Public Fediverse posts

Update:
I've moved gitea off the orangepi5 and have it now working well on my #pinephone which is connected via usb ethernet to the network, it's running #postmarketos and seems to be handling it well https://git.solarcene.community

The mastodon instance is still on the orangepi and while it does keep resetting it seems to be reasonably stable, it's all backed up, I'm still planning what to do next, I might build a second server and then move everything across. Still not sure what's made the #orangepi5 unstable after over a year of running

Hey-hi-hello there, Orange Pi 5 Max 😊.

It had a blown PMIC (RK806-1), as you can see on the pics.

Cool fact - anyone can easily buy those chips.

Not cool fact - those Oranges are sucking the heat badly.

So I had to put it on the preheater to replace the chip, because hot air alone either won't provide enough heat or would burn the board.

But it's all good in the end - one more fix ✅.

Just did a Geekbench on my Orange Pi 5: https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/11154718

Orange Pi 5 Ultra is an RK3588 single-board PC with HDMI input

The Orange Pi 5 Ultra is a new single-board computer that’s nearly identical to the Orange Pi 5 Max that launched this summer. Both are credit card-sized devices that look like a Raspberry Pi with a few extra connectors including an M.2 slot for an SSD. And both are powered by Rockchip RK3588 octa-core processors.

But while the Orange Pi 5 Max has dual HDMI outputs allowing you to connect the board to up to two displays, the Orange Pi 5 Ultra has a single HDMI out port and an HDMI input that allows you to connect a video source to the little computer for video capture or processing. The new board is available for purchase from AliExpress, where you can pick up a model with 16GB of RAM for $125.

The HDMI ports are the only significant differences I can spot between the Orange Pi 5 Max and Ultra. Both boards support WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. Both supports up to 16GB of LPDDR5 memory. And both have multiple storage options including an eMMC module, microSD card reader, and M.2 M-Key slot with support for PCIe 3.0 x4 NVMe storage.

Since both boards also feature MIPI-CSI camera connectors and USB ports, you theoretically don’t need an HDMI input for video capture. But the HDMI 2.0 input on the Orange Pi 5 Ultra could make it easier to connect common video sources with support for resolutions up to 4K at 60 frames per second.

The Orange Pi 5 Ultra joins a growing family of Orange Pi 5-branded single-board computers, which also includes the Orange Pi 5, Orange Pi 5 Pro, and Orange Pi 5 Plus:

Kernel 6.1 on my #OrangePi5 works okay but there's one major issue where my SD card would hang randomly and the driver had to manually reset the SD card controller.

That could be my card or it's a v6.1 issue.. maybe I should try to run the card on DDR50 mode.

The "portable" computer that I use on the go.

I use:
- SBC: Orange Pi 5 (16GB)
- Screen: Waveshare 13.3 inch LCD (v2 case)
- Keyboard: LANGTU LT84 (Wireless)
- Mouse: Logitech G102 Lightsync

Orange Pi 5 Max is a credit card-sized RK3588 PC with 2.5 GbE Ethernet, PCIe 3.0, and WiFi 6E

At first glance it would be easy to mistake the new Orange Pi 5 Max for a Raspberry Pi. They’re both credit card-sized single-board computer s that are easy to hold in one hand or slide into a pocket, with features that include an ARM-based processor and set of ports and connectors that include Ethernet, USB, HDMI, and a 40-pin GPIO […]

IMHO Xunlong's decision to ship the #orangepi5 pro without soldered SPI was just dumb.

Orange Pi 5 Pro is a Raspberry Pi-sized PC with an RK3588S chip, LPDDR5 memory, and a PCIe 2.0 socket

The Orange Pi 5 Pro is a single-board computer that’s the same size as a Raspberry Pi 5, but this model has speedier memory as well as a couple of options that you don’t get from the Raspberry Pi including a built-in M.2 slot for an optional PCIe 2.0 NVMe SSD (no connector cables or HATs required), and optional support for onboard eMMC […]

Pushed my #OrangePi5 to #Linux kernel 6.8-rc1 😀

@armbian on #orangepi5 with latest #Linux 6.7-rc6 kernel and #Ubuntu #noble userspace.

Super experimental but works.

Awesome

@skotchygut @mathiasx that’s perhaps more then i expected. My #orangepi5 which is a bigger device idles at less then that (though no WiFi but it does have a nvme drive)

@mathiasx @Serenity I haven’t yet documented directly the setup but it’s basically it’s 2x120W panels in my garden, a #Victron smartsolar mppt controller, a 90AH AGM battery and then an #orangepi5 with a nvme ssd running #armbian, a network switch and a router all running off the #solar at 12V.
It’s running stock #mastodon (following the main build instructions) and then a custom #python script that converts all images to greyscale and makes them small.

@martin

I have my @homeassistant running on a #OrangePi5 with an SSD, and back up to my #TrueNAS.

If you don't want to go that far, I used to back up to a thumb drive - saves wear and tear on the SD card, and it's small enough and low-power enough to just leave it plugged in 24/7.

It's nice from an ease of restore perspective - just flash a fresh SD, plug that and the USB stick into a new machine, and you can be good to go in a couple of minutes.

@eclecticpassions I have a Samsung in my #OrangePi5 ! 512 GB model, seems to work fine for me.

Using an #OrangePi5 in the public.

@swordplay cheers!!

There are some really awesome projects to work on…
Ofcourse #vdoninja and all it’s functionality.
Also #raspberryninja and to see how it can send video to VDO.ninja

I am working on a internet bonding solution using #mptcp router.

The #OrangePi5 can be a very handy SBC for projects…

Let’s work together. Cheers!!

Yet another computer for the homelab: Orange Pi 5 8GB. This one has been quite impressive so far: 8 cores at full bore and the heatsink seems to handle it easily even without a fan. The manual was excellent and setting up the system with SPI + NVMe #debian bookworm combo went swimmingly. The storage options in some of the competing solutions are quite silly: NVMe is just superior vs the patently unreliable MicroSD solutions. #orangepi5

@skotchygut so my #orangepi5 finally arrived, it does seem to run hot but with an nvme drive it seems to be doing what i need it to do. Am going to add a fan once I design a mounting and #3dprint it. Currently cpu is sitting at 52C which isn’t too bad

Replaced the weird mushy thermal pad included with the Icy Tower cooler with a proper copper shim and thermal paste on my #orangepi5. Gap between the cooler and the shim is still close to half a millimeter and has now been filled with paste until I get a chance to trim the distance pieces.
Results look promising already. Stable at 45C at full load and slight OC to 2.4GHz running #linux kernel compile.
Curios how far it will go down further with proper fasteners....
