Which Bluetooth & Wifi modules work for the Orange Pi 5 Plus?

Last Updated on September 10, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

Two unofficial Bluetooth & Wifi modules for the Orange Pi 5 Plus which are confirmed to work on Linux

1. This is the fist module we mentioned here:

Orange Pi 5 Bluetooth & WIFI module available but without a proof of function?

In the description it says it is for the Orange Pi 5 Plus, but it is not an official one:

There is a comment about this module from a users on Aliexpres

This opinion is only valid for orange pi 5 plus usage with that module

This wifi module works 100% under linux it means that BT and wifi works

BEWARE!!!!.

• IT does not fully work under android os

• Under any android os present on orange pi 5 plus website (android image and orange pi os droid) – – Wifi works perfectly but bluetooth is not working.

• You cant turn on bluetooth and it does not have bluetooth module adress present.

• It is probably driver problem and not module error itself.

• Still i want to warn all people focused on buying this for orange pi 5 plus

2. A second unofficial module was confirmed by the Spanish YouTube video maker biblioman09 to work under Ubuntu

and he shows that Bluetooth and Wifi works under Ubuntu:

• But it says nothing in the description of the product that it is for the the Orange Pi 5:

Demonstration which shows the function of the Orange Pi 5 Plus with a Wifi & Bluetooth module in Ubuntu, but still no proof of function of Bluetooth keyboard & mouse?

3. Joshua Riek Joshua-Riek, Software Engineer at OPSWAT and supporter for Ubuntu 22.04 for Rockchip RK3588 Devices wrote he tested two modules and both worked:

• Another user wrote in this issue that he failed to get it working under Ubuntu and is looking for another one.
