I looked it up rapidly and couldn't figure out the difference with the original OrangePi 5.
By the way, the OrangePi 5 is a pretty good SBC. Much better bang/bucks than RPi, and the mainline kernel support is pretty good and getting better with every release thanks to the folks at Collabora.

- amluto 1y agoI give OrangePi a lot of points for putting an M.2 slot on the bottom of the PCB. Not only does Raspberry Pi charge extra for their M.2 board, it sits in an obnoxious location above the board where it interferes with many other things one might want to put on top, e.g. any sort of passive cooling.

- rjsw 1y agoThe built-in ethernet controller would be fine, not sure why it needs to use up some PCIe lanes on an external one.

- timw4mail 1y agoAssuming you can get software support for more than one version of 'blessed' distro.
- Ecco 1y agoWell, that’s my point exactly: mainline kernel is what all distros eventually use. As a matter of fact I’m currently running an OrangePi 5 as a server using an unmodified Debian Trixie and hardware support is nearly perfect.
- rixed 1y agoCould you be more specific about what's not perfect yet with the hardware support?
- packetlost 1y agoI have a cluster of 3 of the Orange Pi 5 Pros. They're extremely capable machines if you don't need the GPU or NPU (which I don't). That being said, they're more expensive, louder, and less energy efficient than like an Intel N100 mini PC.
- mrbluecoat 1y agoThis. If power draw isn't critical, an N95/N100/N150 x86 wins out every time on OS support and price point. Especially when you factor in an SSD, thermal handling, case, power supply...
