Orange pi one

I could not resist and ordered a single-board PC for $ 9.9 .



Very, very interesting piece of iron. The size is slightly smaller than a credit card.

Specifications

• CPU- Cortex-A7, 1.2 GHz
• GPU- Mali400MP2 GPU @ 600 MHz
• 512 MB DDR3
• HDMI, USB, microUSB, CSI
• 40 GPIO
• UART

Delivery to the Russian Federation passed quite quickly, but in the Russian Federation itself, the picture is different.

OS

The image of the system took from here .

Copy the image to the USB flash drive:

sudo dd if=image_name.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M oflag=direct

Connect via the serial port to the serial single-board console and connect the power:

It struck me that everything started with a half kick.

Monitoring

Install RPI-monitor

sudo apt-get install rpimonitor

Now you can look at the status of the board from the browser at this address http://192.168.100.10:8888/:

Remote Desktop

First you need to install DE. I installed XFCE.

opigaz@orangepione:~$ vnc4server -geometry 1920x1080

Connect from host:


Works!

I really liked the scarf. Already tried to connect the camera and stream video from it. Everything works, software takes off as it should.

The last time I tinkered with such boards a year ago - the quality was worse. By the way, now they are not warming as much as before.

Well, by itself, the price is such that it will not hit even the student’s pocket.
