Orange Pi CM5

[Babyyoda777]

Hi,

Sorry if I’m not meant to create issues for questions like this, however I was wondering if there are any plans to review the Orange Pi CM5? It’s similar to the Radxa CM5 but I’ve heard software support is a lot better and it also adds onboard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support which the Radxa lacks. It would be cool to see how it compares to the Radxa as well as the Raspberry Pi CM5 in terms of performance and board cross compatibility.

It uses the RK3588S which seems amazing and supports up to 16GB of RAM. Assuming efficiency is on par with the Radxa it could be a really cool (and functional) CM5 alternative.

Unless/until I can get one on hand to test, let's leave this as a discussion.

The last Orange Pi product I tested, I was more impressed than in the past; they had working OS image downloads finally! For a long time, I'd pick up an older Orange Pi product (like 6 months to 1 year old) and then when I go to download a Debian or Ubuntu image, the folder on Baidu or Google Drive is just empty...
