Very, very interesting piece of hardware. The size is slightly smaller than a credit card.

Delivery to the Russian Federation quickly passed, but in the Russian Federation itself the picture is different.

OS

The image of the system took from here .

Copy the image to the USB flash drive:

sudo dd if=image_name.img of=/dev/sdX bs=1M oflag=direct 

Connect via serial port to the serial console of the single-board device and connect the power:

There is a contact.

Now you can connect the network and pick up via SSH:

It struck me that everything started with a half kick.

Monitoring

Install RPI-monitor

 sudo apt-get install rpimonitor 

Now you can look at the status of the board from the browser at this address http://192.168.100.10:8888/ :

Remote Desktop

First you need to install DE. I installed XFCE.

 opigaz@orangepione:~$ vnc4server -geometry 1920x1080 

Connect from host:


Works!

I really liked the shawl. Already tried to connect the camera and stream video from it. Everything works, the software takes off, as it should.

Last time with such cards I was picking a year ago - the quality was worse. By the way, now they are not heated as much as before.

And, of course, the price is such that even a student cannot afford it.
