Why I probably won't buy another Orange Pi Board

in tech •  8 years ago  (edited)

If you're after support and a solid community for ARM SoC style boards, it really is usually better just to stick with the commonly known brands and vendors.

https://nextthing.co/pages/chip is a good candidate for this because it's like $8 or $9 and comes with 4GB nand storage built in.

Equally, the Raspberry Pi Zero is similarly priced (albeit requiring a few dongles) and you have the full Pi community and all the howtos available to you.

Both the Pi Zero W and the CHIP come with wireless and bluetooth on board.

I use a raspberry pi, but this is just a project to see if I could build something like this. And maybe build clusters from. I am gonna check your suggestion out. I am gonna try to fix the Orange pi first. If I have a working image I made build a cluster and design a clusterhousing for it. I must say Just like the format of the orange Pi One but that has been the only pro so far. The first raspberry Pi use to be some trouble this beats it by far.

I had it running for a short will I will post a guide later on.
Since you really need to be care full with it softwarewise. Also a few things that I think are just odd.
