Orange Pi 5 Plus 32GB with 256GB eMMC Rockchip RK3588 8 Core 64 Bit Single Board Computer, 2.4GHz Frequency WiFi Bluetooth Run Orange Pi OS, Android, Debian, Ubuntu (Pi 5 Plus 32G+Case+eMMC+R6+Supply)

I installed the official Debian release on a SD card and it is fantastic. Seriously considering using this tiny little box as my main computer. My one issue is the the RK3358 is supported fully only by the Linux 5.10 kernel, but Rockchip who make the processor are paying Collabora to fully up-streamed support into the Linux kernel - so this will be resolved in time.

Very little seller support. No instructions. Sketchy os downloads through Google drive. Couldn't connect to any of my monitors, ive seen a lot saying it needs to be a 1080p monitor. Couldn't get it to boot any os.

I have also been using RasPi 4b, 8GB for a year. I wanted to get the next Gen Orange Pi 5 Plus, 32GB to expand usage. This new Gen is all it is cracked up to be. There is enough RAM now to be able to run non-headless with a GUI, and the speed is 4x that of RasPi 4b. I highly recommend this Orange Pi 5 Plus!!

Case, Orange Pi and everything you need in one kit. Now if they only added a compatible touch screen would complete the package.

Ha venido una antena rota y no consigo contactar con el vendedor, cuando he intentado hablar con amazon, me dicen que devuelva todo el producto. Lo he pedido a EEuu y estoy en España, no voy a devolverlo todo por una antena, sólo quiero que me envien la antena. Debido a esto He recibido un mail de amazon diciendo que estoy violando sus politicas de devoluciones y abusando de ellas. cuando no devuelvo prácticamente nada y lo que devuelvo lo hago bien.

I actually have a pair of these, the 16GB and the 32GB. Though not cheap I can say that they both could really replace the desktop for most users. I say this with caveats though. I tried a number of OS builds and each booted out of the chute. A couple didn't have working drivers for the on board NICs and only one played nice with the AX210NGW from the start. OS is kind of a hanging point as they are built on older Kernels and frankly OrangePi should fix this considering the cost of the boards. They are not cheap until one considers the outstanding feature set and expansion capabilities of this thing. I ended up loading the third party image of Ubuntu linked in their DL page. I used Balena Etcher to write the image to an SD card and get the board up and running. The NICs worked fine out of the hole though the WiFi didn't. Performance on our gigabit network was full speed to and from the NAS which is to say around 113MB/sec so no bottleneck there. The OS have AX210 drivers built in but fails to initialize the WiFi NIC. The fix is a single line in the terminal and a reboot followed by flipping the WiFi into airplane mode and then back on again. A pair of antennas and we saw 350Mb/sec over the wireless to the internet which is again the full speed of our connection. Our router is very old but capable EnGenius ECB1750. Connected to a 4K display it did fine but defaults to 30Hz, easy to change but I suspect that is to keep the heat down. The thing needs a good heatsink when running Ubuntu and this should be active too. The ram and the power management chips don't seem to run particularly hot though. The heatsinks I have coming are a copper affair and I would highly recommend that you order some sort of heatsink as well. After I decided on the OS and got it all working I then added an M.2 SSD. In my case this was a 250GB Samsung 980 Pro that I had taking up space in a drawer. The SSD must be an 80mm long model since there are no provisions for the shorter form factors. They do make adapters to carry the shorter drives in the 80MM mounting. Anyway, I used Balena Etcher to load the same image I loaded on the SD card on the SSD using an external enclosure with 10Gb USBC interface before installing it on the board. I removed the MicroSD and it booted right up. Less than 15 seconds from the power button to a quiescent machine ready to go. Performance on the drive is 3000MB/sec plus read and about 550MB/sec write. There seem to be no bottlenecks at all compared to a Raspberry pi, oh yah the Raspberry pi5 lacks an M.2 SSD slot. then again one should expect this considering the cost delta. The other nice thing is that these can be had now where it is hit and miss with the Raspberry pi5 in the 8GB variant. Also there is little difference in the price and if you can find one it is as much as this board that sports double the memory (16GB) and an 8 core big/little processor and a stunning array of I/O interfaces. 2 full sized HDMI out as well as a Thunderbolt USBC and even a HDMI in port. There are a pair of USB 2.0 (480Mbps) and a pair of USB 3.0 (5Gb). There are a pair of M.2 ports one is an E key (WiFi) and the other is an M key (SSD). There is an EMMC port on board for up to 256GB storage and of course the ubiquitous microSD and there is a GPIO header much like the Raspberry Pi boards. For the WiFi Both an AX200 or an AX210 are what you want. The AX201 and AX211 will not work with this board as they offload the back end of the WiFi to an Intel 10th Gen or newer processor. I do have a BE200 coming to upgrade the laptop from an AX201 and I will try it just for Schnitz and Giggles. WiFi7 would be extreme overkill. In conclusion, I think this is a much better deal and you end up with far more under the hood. Only issue I can see is that it isn't a one to one form factor with a Raspberry pi5. Then again the raspberry pi5 is simply anemic when lined up against this giant killer. Unless you plan on having a boat load of windows open and stuff running in the background I really think 32GB of RAM is likely overkill. But hay, no kids or mortgage so I could afford the extra $50.00 and frankly more ram is always better!

Got two units and both are not even booting out of the box after power on. Very disappointed with the purchase and quality of product. Will return immediately. Waste of time

Only supports 6.1 kernel rockchip device kernel is way behind mainline, so I can't exactly call this device secure or recieving any modern patches/fixes. 6.8 has very limited support without HDMI Audio, so its practically a paperweight if you want to use this thing as a desktop PC at all. You can build your own Armbian flavour for the thing but will have limited support. Also watch it with the RTLE Wi-Fi module that comes with the thing...it was a pain and I ended up having to find a heavy technical workaround to get this Wi-Fi module to work.
