Review: But that matters not. Fortunately, if you have enough savvy, you can load all your software from US sources whether it be arm64 Android, Linux (I'm using a Ubuntu 22.04 distro from a GitHub user), or a Windows for ARM distro. Plenty of power to run just about any OS you'd care to run. The NVMe option is really nice because booting is about 15 times faster than the micro SD or you can boot a bit slower from an eMMC. Since these boards do not have a BIOS setting a boot order is problematic but there is a kludgy way to use the built in Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) as a fixed boot order loader....micro SD - USB - NVMe - eMMC.....so you could boot from a 2.5 inch hard drive using just USB power. The down side is that the unit has two blue colored USB 3 ports but it's suspected that only one of them is version 3 despite the circuit board text indicating that they are 2 x 3.1. I'll have to do some digging to get a definitive answer. The one nice thing is the OEM user manual - 500+ pages of detailed instructions on how to set it up. It's also not a Chinglish translation...very well done by folks who really can speak English well. That is important because a couple of the software utility items you can download have Chinese language but they do a step by step pictorial instruction that shows you just what to select and what it does. I would definitely buy this again. A lot more capable than the Raspberry offerings.
Review: I'm currently developing my own handheld PC to use as a field device for my own personal research project. I needed to build this device on a platform that was powerful enough to handle advanced computations without relying on a server or the other infrastructure I normally have access to. I also needed something fairly portable and energy efficient, because I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the backcountry and need to be able to carry enough energy with me for many hours of use. Additionally, I needed the platform to be expandable and somewhat modular. These conditions precluded the use of basically every device I could find and those that weren't eliminated based on my requirements were well beyond my price range. I decided that the only way I could move forward was by building the device myself. I quickly realized that the RK3588 was going to be the best value processor for my project, both in terms of processing power and energy efficiency. I looked at several other devices but eventually settled on the Orange Pi 5 Plus because it seemed to strike the perfect balance between size and functionality. Now that I have it up and running, I'm pleased to say that the Orange Pi 5 Plus is a nearly perfect SBC. It's blazing fast and makes quick work of even the most complex computations. It isn't just a better raspberry pi but a true replacement for a desktop PC. On my system, I'm running Debian 11 with KDE Plasma desktop and it runs just as smoothly as on my x86 PC. Booting from NVME is quick and, while it probably won't set any records, it wipes the floor with the raspberry pi. The NVME support was absolutely essential for me because I need a device that can be powered off when not needed and then quickly brought to an operable state, which is not the case for the SBCs that boot from SD cards. I mean, yeah, they technically work but it has a huge impact on usability. The next requirement I couldn't compromise on was networking. I needed a device that can communicate with an entire array of sensors quickly, both wirelessly and over ethernet. While hiking and driving, I needed something that could function as a small, portable server/router. The 5 Plus certainly delivers in this regard. With TWO 2.5 Gbps ethernet ports and support for E-key m.2 wifi cards, I have way more bandwidth than I actually need. I'll come back to this in the caveats section because I do have some tips and recommendations that can save you some frustrations but, overall, I am very happy with the network performance. Another positive thing worth mentioning is the GPIO. With a full 40-pin GPIO, the 5 Plus can play with any microcontrollers, io expanders, etc. that you might have. It will undoubtedly be able to control any extra functionality that you might want to add to your build. And now for some caveats* The first thing I should mention is the relatively early stage of development this board is in. I don't think a single distro that I installed, including Orange Pi OS, functioned perfectly with zero issues. Even with Debian 11, which I consider to be the most stable and usable distro offered for this board, I ran into problems with held packages and the ensuing dependency issues literally the first time I ran 'sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade". Several of what I consider to be essential KDE packages (the qml module for KDE Plasma for example) were not installed by default and had to be manually added. The qml module is needed to change theme settings and install new themes and adding the package had zero negative effects so it wasn't like it was waiting for a patch. In this same vein, while trying to fix the held packages in Apt, I irreparably broke X and had to re-flash and start over. I would definitely recommend leaving the held packages alone. There might be workarounds that I'm not familiar with but I was still able to get everything I needed working with Debian 11 KDE Plasma in spite of the package issues. Those who have tried messing with network drivers on an ARM64 SBC running Linux will understand that compatibility issues in this area are an absolute plague and the Orange Pi 5 series is no exception. After trying many different USB network cards on the Orange Pi 5 (not 5 Plus), I found one that seems to work pretty reliably across several of the official distros from Orange Pi. If you search for "wifi 5 bluetooth usb dongle," one of the top results will be a small black dongle with a green "WiFi 5" logo. These dongles seem to be plug n play with Orange Pi OS and Debian 11 both. The chipset for the dongle is the RTL8821CU. As far as m.2 E-key network cards go, I'm using the Lenovo 5W10V25844 Wi-Fi 6/BT 5.0 card. It was the first m.2 card I tried with the board and has worked flawlessly without needing any drivers on both Orange Pi OS (arch) and Debian 11 Plasma and is even more affordable than the USB dongle I mentioned. I highly recommend going this route if you end up getting the 5 Plus. Another caveat I'll add is in regards to HDMI. On both the 5 and 5 Plus, I was unable to get my 7 inch 1024x600 hdmi display from Waveshare to work and it seems to be an issue with the graphics hardware itself. Using a USBC hub with HDMI, I was able to get the display working. For this reason, I do recommend sticking to displays with more common resolutions if you plan to use HDMI. I have yet to find another display that refuses to work when plugged directly into the 5 Plus so it might even be a problem with the display itself, although the display also works with every other device I've connected to it. For whatever reason, these two don't get along. Even my ultrawide 1080x2560 monitor works perfectly, both in landscape and portrait. I've even successfully used a type c capture card to make my android phone function as a display. I don't know why the 7" 1024x600 display doesn't work but it's worth mentioning. The last major caveat I'll add is in regards to user friendliness. If you are new to SBCs and Linux in general, this may not be the right board for you. Getting it to boot and getting the EMMC working are somewhat more complicated than getting a Raspberry Pi going. It wouldn't be impossible for a beginner but it might be more frustration than what you bargained for. Read up before purchasing and don't be afraid to consult the documentation available on Orange Pi's website. All of this was enough to get me started and overall, I absolutely love this little board. The last thing worth explaining is my 5 star rating. Please understand that I am by no means saying that the 5 Plus is a perfect device. It's not. It has problems and Orange Pi seems to be busy trying to fix these issues. The reason I am giving it 5 stars is that, when compared to other SBCs and even other RK3588 boards, I'm not seeing significantly more issues. ARM64 architecture is difficult to support and this is a factor with every ARM board I've used, including the raspberry pi. When considering the incredibly competitive price of this board, the fact that it's actually in stock, and the support that it does have, I would argue that it is utterly unbeatable. Flawless? Nope. But for the time being at least, nobody else is coming anywhere close. For this reason, I'm giving it 5/5 in spite of its imperfections.
