1- you are becoming a "local hero" of the new SBCs on the market sir! superb! 2- Raspberry Pi Foundation can slowly forget about the consumer market as we - the consumers - already forgot about them ;-) 3- waiting for further development in these topics
I don't understand the "hate" towards the Raspberry Pi now - they were founded on the concepts of bringing cheap computing devices into schools and raised the necessary money to do that by making commitments to industry to produce cheap boards for them also. Yes, I am sure that they were looking to see how hobbyists would use the RPi also, but they clearly underestimated the size of the hobbyist community, meaning that there were always supply problems in the background (especially on new product launches) that were worsened by "the thing we cannot talk about on TH-cam". That supply issue is worsened by the fact that are two sorts of hobbyists that use the RPi - those that see it almost as a "consumer device" with a huge amount of support that means they can get it to things easily without too much effort and then those that are just "good with Linux" and can use any SBC to do what they want but have to do a lot more themselves. So there's no reason for "hate" here - if you want to continue to practice your SBC hobby then "expand your horizons" and learn more about the alternative SBCs out there - because those that are not RPi probably share only about 20-25% of the hobbyist user base and are not, for the foreseeable future, going to have the resources or communities to give users the same level of support that Raspberry Pi do, with their 75-80% market share. A "hobby" is supposed to be an interesting pasttime from which you get more rewards for putting in more effort - so rather than people complaining about the RPi supply situation, they should simply learn more themselves and try out other SBCs - not to mention the fact that if you just need a cheap device for emulation, you can pick up a 3rd or 4th generation Core i5 or i7 SFF PC with 4-8 GB RAM on eBay for the equivalent of $30-40 that will already have more CPU power than most SBCs do.

Thanks for the information. Great video. I had to change the DTB file in Twister OS EXT file to get it to work on my PineBook Pro. Maybe they have released a DTB file for the Orange Pi so you can use Twister OS to get WideVine to view Netflix or Amazon Prime Video on your SBC. Ahh the possibilities! Have a nice day!
Excellent. DTB files are very common with Linux based distros on ARM in products such as Libreelec and Coreelec, enabling the use of a single OS version on different boards by using specific DTB files, which are apparently taken from specific Android images and converted for use in these distros. The number of OS options available in such a short space of time is amazing. Now we need to know how multi-boot can work using something like Petitboot so many can be tested from the same source.
Lee, Just found out that the last version of that image ALREADY has integrated the configuration for the orange pi. I was following your steps and found out that all was ALREADY done. I'm currently teesting but it looks go so far...
First of all great video. It is early days and I admire the efforts going in, but every linux image on the orange pi5 crashes and can not use usb wifi, so far this board isn't good enough to be a daily driver. if people are struggling to get a raspberry pi, the orange pi5 is interesting but it is not a replacement, maybe a well supported rk3399 board, it's old but it works.
You will always have incompatibility with WiFi in Linux as there isn’t one board to conform to. Unless you use one of these suggestions Orange Pi 5. WiFi, Bluetooth and Gamepad suggestions th-cam.com/video/rgFmIGeuRm4/w-d-xo.html
Additionally, after booting to the MicroSD card(Armbian, Ubuntu, Debian, RebornOS etc.), Download the RebornOS image. RebornOS can also be installed on NVMe by running the command below. "dd if=RebornOS-ARM-opi5-2023-01-22.img of=/dev/nvme0n1 bs=4M status=progress"
Thank you so much Lee, I'm trying your tutorial now, but I'm a bit unclear how the stuff on the Official OPi5 link should be used, is that a full functioning image ready to be flashed?

You need to be careful with those converters - if it's a small plastic plug with HDMI on one side and DVI the other, it may just provide the electrical connectivity without doing any signal conversion. I have one that converts the DVI output on an (old) graphics card into a HDMI KVM switch (so it's converting the opposite way to I guess what you want) but even that has a long plastic box along it which presumably contains electronics to do the signal conversion also.
@@Raphael-qe7rs No problem - for the record, the simple conversion plugs or cables are fine going from DVI to VGA (or vice versa) or Displayport to HDMI (or vice versa). Otherwise you need additional electronics to do deeper signal conversion.

We have an R58-mini image

Hi, do you think about hardware acceleration video in browser in youtube not enable, how enable this future?
I think it probably is judging by the 4K playback in the video
Additionally, after booting to the MicroSD card(Armbian, Ubuntu, Debian, RebornOS etc.),
Download the RebornOS image.
RebornOS can also be installed on NVMe by running the command below.

Good news!
so how do these benchmarks compare to an rpi4? i mean including the gpu speed on linux os
There is also a new armbian image.
Nice 1
fantastic, and how about window?
Not yet, but with so many devices running the same CPU. I wouldn’t rule it out.

@@leepspvideo that's a shame. It has the rk3588 processor. Are images for the same processor compatible with other boards or is each board specific?
@@spr00sem00se that was the point of this video. All RK3588/S images are similar but won’t work on other devices without adjustments
@@leepspvideo the nanopi image is so glitch I'd bet money that theyve tried to adjust a different image and failed.
How about to install it on the NVME? if we install the bootloader or Armbian on SPI?

Try some of the other operating systems. Android builds are usually fussy with resolution

Why not a "iso" OS install rather than "img"? Boot from an USB, like on X86 computers. Is ARM unique in this regard?
