- We have an Ubuntu GITHUB project for the Orange Pi 5 where we can participate writing issues:
- There is a problem having both a Bluetooth and Wifi modules as well as an MVMe drive connected to the drive on the same motherboard.
- So we have to decide to use one or the other option.
Leepesvideo shows us how to boot from usb with the Orange Pi 5:
- so we can let go of the MVMe drive, if we want to have an alternative to Raspberry Pi.
- there is another issue shown in the video that the Orange Pi 5 does not boot from an usb SSD but only from an usb stick
- This works as a temporary solution. Maybe there can be found another instruction on YouTube, there are a lot of them about this topic.
- There also quiet a lot of videos on youtube about the Orange Pi 5 for OS as well as for games.
- If we choose to boot the OS from an usb drive, we then could use the MVMe slot for a WIFI and Bluetooth module, which is supported by the GITHUB project.
- Furthermore, we do not want to have this problem with the Orange Pi 5:
- We had this problem before with cameras from the US and WIFI shields from China.
- We furthermore miss a confirmation that the Rii mini usb keyboards works with the device. A reviewers said that it works, but it would be great to have a confimation.
- So where can Swiss costumers buy the Orange Pi 5?
- It is mainly sold on Ricardo Switzerland:
- but not available from there anymore.
- where these all unhappy Orange Pi 5 users who sold their device on Ricardo? This makes us worry if it is really a good SBC.
- If we are looking for an Orange Pi 5 reseller we can only find Techstudio.ch who sell the Orange Pi starter kit:
- but only the Orange Pi 4:
- and not the Orange Pi 5:
- We complained at Techstudio.ch , but they don’t want to take up the Orange Pi 5 in their store all the same.
- We already asked Digitec Switzerland and Conrad Switzerland to take up the Orange Pi 5 in their shops, but unfortunately without succsess to this date.
