abreyu Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Hi, I'm looking for a tiny board with eth and wireless. My first choice is Orange Pi Zero but I'm worried about thermal issue. Any cheap alternative?
guidol Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 The Orange Pi One runs really cool, but needs a USB-Wifi-Dongle.
abreyu Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 thank you, any idea for a complete solution with also wifi on board?

abreyu Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 I'm already using boards like banana pi r1, olimex a10 and raspberry pi3. I just want a small board to use like web server with eth and wl, tiny and cheap...

abreyu Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 I see, so if I want to use a dongle the best choice is Orange Pi One?

guidol Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 31 minutes ago, martinayotte said: Right ! ... or some of the NanoPi too ... Yes - the NanoPi Neo LTS (get the 512MB version for around $14.99 - for $9.99 you do get only get the 256MB version) https://www.friendlyarm.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=132 But what is cheap for you? And is cheap good? For some few more $ you could get a board with better support and less heat problems - like the Orange PC (H3) and PC2 (H5) and these got the double Ram = 1GB and more USB-Ports....and they arent bigger than a normal Raspberry Pi.
abreyu Posted October 8, 2019 Author Posted October 8, 2019 By cheap I mean under 20$, absolutely not over 25$...

MacBreaker Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I would suggest the orange pi zero plus with extension board. H5 Prozessor 512 MB RAM 3x USB 2.0 Gigabit Ethernet Onboard WiFi SPI Flash Runs for me very reliable for over 2 years under Debian Stretch. No thermal problems... running without exclosure on myside... I use it for: websites/webservice, pihole, openvpn, oscam server ... below 50 degrees Celsius. It's around 19,45€ including delivery to Europe (where i'm living). https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32851197198.html?spm=a2g0x.12010612.8148356.9.1be67144SgjLnC 1
abreyu Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 what about temperature? any throttle issue with this board?
MacBreaker Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Quote what about temperature? any throttle issue with this board?w no no, not about 68-72 degrees Celsius at my maximum...

I'm not able to find any other pi zero h5+eth...
MacBreaker Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Yes, i've take a look yesterday, but there was no item any more. I would mail to them and ask when it will be again on stock.
abreyu Posted October 18, 2019 Author Posted October 18, 2019 at the end I've chosen opi one h3 512MB and opi zero plus h5 512MB, thank you to everybody :-)

Werner Posted October 19, 2019 Posted October 19, 2019 Indeed it does. In first place I had an OrangePi Zero but followed @Igors advice to get an OrangePi One. Running very stable. Though it always depends on the designated use. If you plan to do anything that involves (more than average) cryptographics go for an arm64 platform like the OrangePi Zero Plus featuring an 64bit quad H5. I added this one recently to my collection and is running fine as well.
