Orange Pi boards come in various configurations with different processors, memory capacities, and ports. They typically include standard interfaces like HDMI, USB, Ethernet, and GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins. Orange Pi OS, which is based on Debian Linux[1], is the officially supported OS of Orange Pi[2].
Orange Pi boards are similar to other popular SBCs like Raspberry Pi, but often offer different hardware specifications and features. They generally run open-source operating systems like Linux and Android, but can also be used with Raspberry Pi OS, the operating system for Raspberry Pi.[3][4][5]
Orange Pi is an open-source hardware brand founded by Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd. in 2005.[1] The company aimed to create an alternative to the popular Raspberry Pi, launching its first open-source product in 2014.
