¶ 1. Introduction
The Orange Pi 6 Plus is an ARM64 board with great specifications:
- SoC: CIX CD8160
- CPU: 4x A72 @ 2.6GHz + 4x A72 @ 2.4GHz + 4x A52 @ 1.8GHz
- GPU: Immortals G720 MC10
- NPU: 28.8 Tops
- Network: 2x 5Gbit Ethernet (PCIe 4.0 1x lane each)
PCIe ports:
- 2x M.2 M key (PCIe 4.0 4x lanes)
- 1x M.2 E key (PCIe 4.0 2x lanes)
We nicknamed it "opi6plus" or "op6p".
¶ 2. Download
You can find download links for the aarch64 iso on our Github page!
Currently we offer one image based on the mainline kernel. This version does have missing drivers. A overview whats working on mainline and whats not can be found under 4. Mainline Support.
¶ 3. Installation
The opi6plus supports installation from generic ISO images, unlike our other supported single-board computers (SBCs) which use device-specific images. Installation can be done using a USB stick or even a USB optical drive.
¶ 3.1 Generic ISO Installation
A guide for generic .iso installation is available here.
