The company I work for will be realizing an embedded project using
Orange PI. I can use any tool I want, but the project will be on a
Orange PI (A very small chance of Raspberry PI). Does any one have FPC
running on Orange PI? If so would you be willing to help me get set
up?
I am totally unpracticed in Linux, but am sure I can get into it.
I have not used the Orange Pi, but reading the site www.orangepi.org
it seems to be a clone of the Raspberry Pi and it also seems like
there are 9 different models of it.
Indeed. I would disagree with them that it is a clone..
It's similar but not a clone. It does not run your typical Pi operating
system and it looks nothing like a Pi, it's basically a completely
different Pi altogether, not a clone.
Not criticising you, as you are not the one claiming it is a clone -
they are.
I have been meaning to try my Orange Pi... bought a few to try.
I just disagree that it is a clone and was disappointed when I found out
it's really just a "similar computer to the raspberry pi" but in no way
a clone at all. IMO.
You have to download custom operating systems that run on it, not the pi
OS. So how is that a clone..
And, it does not look anything like the raspberry pi so again how is it
a clone? it has similar ports but not a similar layout. The only thing
it has in common is the size, it's small... But then you could say a
BeagleBone is a clone of a Pi, but it's not.
Big advantage of Orange Pi is the cost for all the ports you get.
