Got an orangepi RV2 equipped with a new RISC-V SOC. It's much faster than the Starfive Vision 2 and it ships with a full Ubuntu distro making it a breeze to use. Risc-v has come a long way! #orangepi #rv2 #linux #riscv #hardware #soc

Banana Pi BPI-CM6 is a industrial grade RISC-V Core board, it design with SpacemiT K1 8 core RISC-V chip, CPU integrates 2.0 TOPs AI computing power. 8/16G DDR and 8/16/32/128G eMMC.,Designed with Board to Board connectors for enhanced stability same as Raspberry Pi CM4.

Orange Pi RV2 is a single-board PC with an 8-core RISC-V processor, but not sure what to expect in terms of software support...: https://www.cnx-software.com/2025/03/08/orange-pi-rv2-low-cost-risc-v-sbc-ky-x1-octa-core-soc-2-tops-ai-accelerator/

But it's not all failures. Some other customer sent in his NanoPi NEO 512. It a was nice, fast and easy fix - MP2143DJ IC got hot up to 150+° C, so I ordered and replaced it right away .

Again - life is so much easier with schematics:

And here's a datasheet for that part:

Someone sent me an Orange Pi 5 Pro the other day for repair and sadly I was not able to fix it, thought the issue was quite obvious.
RK806-1 PMIC not only blew up - it catched fire and welded itself to the board so badly that I was unable to remove it. It also took an SY8089AAC with it.

How did that happen? He used a DC-DC step-down converter. No idea why and how, but I''d avoid using those converters at all costs.

I'm getting in the mood to build a #handheld #linux #cyberdeck again. Thinking something based on a compute module with custom thumb keyboard, 18650 cells for power and a nice 5 inch display.

I want plenty of USB-A, maybe ethernet, etc.

Note: This has nothing to do with Raspberry Pis per se, but I used the hashtag because I figure people with Raspberry Pis might have some ideas about how to accomplish this.

I'm looking into making one of my Orange Pi 5 Plus devices into a laptop-like portable device. One idea I have is to use this portable monitor (linked below) and attach an Orange Pi 5 Plus to the back of it somehow.

The only problem with this is that it still requires the power source to be portable. As far as I know, there is no battery module for the Orange Pi 5 Plus. It can still work as long as I have a power source nearby to plug the power cord into, but this is not quite optimal for my intended use case. I would also need portable power source for the monitor.

An idea I have is to find some kind of external battery that I can attach to the back of the portable monitor, plug the Orange Pi 5 Plus power cord into it, plug the portable monitor power cord into it, and have them use the battery storage as a power source. Then I would just have to charge the external battery. The external battery would have to be sufficiently powerful.

I think I’m giving up on my #orangepi #ntp server. I cannot get any of the PPS stuff to work. It seems like if you don’t get the PPS i/o working, the jitter is really bad. All the reading I’ve done is by people who understand this stuff at a way deeper level.

There’s a zillion blog posts out there that just say “add these 2 overlays and reboot.” Mine never works.

I've been doing a lot of research about #RetroGaming #handhelds and #SBCs. There's a ton of very weak quad core #ARM devices that run #games all the way up to #Dreamcast, and #GameCube! RaspberryPi level; things with screens and buttons hardwired to them.

But then there are the #OrangePi boards with #Rockchip #SoC that have 2 more cores! That makes them even faster than the #Unisoc chip in the #retroidPocket4Pro which easily handles #PS2. No screens or buttons though..

Been working on upgrading my presence in the fediverse. I've recently setup an #owncast instance for @embyr and her art streams. #Friendica for myself, Updating my personal #wordpress blog and adding plugins to connect to the fediverse, lastly I setup a #pixelfed instance for myself and Embyr to post artwork. Just a warning I can be NSFW at times but I use Content Warnings. All this is running on an #OrangePi

I've had an #Anbernic #RGArcS sitting around in a box waiting for me to play with it for months and I just now learned about #RockNix

> #JELOS (ROCKNIX) is an immutable #Linux #distribution for #handheld #gaming devices focused on #retroGaming #emulation. It is #openSource

It supports #RockChip/ #AmLogic devices from #OrangePi #Powkiddy #IndieDroid #HardKernel and #Gameforce too!
