OrangePi is a series of cost effective single-board computers (SBC) designed and manufactured by Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd.
OrangePi OS, based on Arch Linux, is the officially supported operating system for OrangePi boards. However, the boards are compatible with other operating systems based on the Linux kernel such as Android.
OrangePi is also a main competitor of RaspberryPi and their SBCs.
The first model of OrangePi was released in 2014. Thirty other models have been launched since.
In 2022, OrangePi OS was released. It, by default, comes with the Arch Linux operating system, however there are two other versions: OrangePi OS Droid (mainly used in desktop applications), OrangePi OS Arch (mainly used in lightweight applications), and OrangePi OS OH (mainly used for CLI-centered applications).
The modern OrangePi boards are also compatible with third-party operating systems, like Debian, Ubuntu and Android.
OrangePi also partners with companies and higher education systems internationally, such as UCDavis, Oviton Technologie GmbH, and Makerlab Electronics.
Only a select few of OrangePi's are shown here, but additional models can be found on OrangePi's Wiki.
