Petus 0 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Hi, I wrote this news http://time4ee.com/news.php?readmore=170 about Orange Pi Zero Plus (SBC with SIM and Bluetooth) but I have a question. I didn't hear about this processor RDA8810PL and my question is if armbian will support this board. I don't know if xunlong send you preliminary boards or not. Thanks P.S. The answer will be release in news :-) Edited March 30, 2017 by zador.blood.stained Renamed - removed references to Zero Plus since the board was released 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Igor 2237 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I guess it's a chip which meant to be in Orange i96, an Linaro's attempt to set some standard form(s) within those devices. In any case it's too soon to say anything. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zador.blood.stained 764 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Performance seems to be impressively low: http://www.chinaprice.co.il/phone/antutu/5487/intex-aqua-g2 I don't think this device is about performance, it's about a combination of a GSM modem and a camera interface IMO, so combined with a good camera (maybe with IR backlight) and a good case it can be a base for a DIY alarm / monitoring system or any kind of system with SMS control and GSM based internet connectivity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tkaiser 1641 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I don't think this device is about performance Of course, was just kidding since if OPI Zero Plus is cheap enough the usual suspects will start to ask whether it could be used as desktop replacement and whether the GPU can properly decode 4K video (hoping for an LCD to be connected to the larger FCP connector).

tkaiser 1641 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Just for the record, Xunlong listened to community and the board will be renamed to 'OPi 2G-IOT': http://www.cnx-software.com/2017/01/08/orange-pi-zero-plus-board-based-on-rda8810pl-cortex-a5-processor-to-support-bluetooth-and-gsm/#comment-537948 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hojnikb 17 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'd rather see li-ion support than useless wifi. I mean, if this had battery support (or maybe even 3g for markets disabling 2g) it would be a perfect IoT board. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hojnikb 17 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Finally, Xunlong released this board https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Orange-Pi-2G-IOT-ARM-Cortex-A5-32bit-Support-ubuntu-linux-and-android-mini-PC-Beyond/1553371_32802458477.html http://www.rdamicro.com/upload/2016030304473558.pdf Edited March 30, 2017 by zador.blood.stained Merged here 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
araczkowski 2 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 there is some info/description here http://www.cnx-software.com/2017/03/30/orange-pi-2g-iot-arm-linux-development-board-with-2ggsm-support-is-up-for-sale-for-9-90/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hojnikb 17 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I just realized this has battery support. This is now almost a perfect IOT board (only other thing being 3g support). Any ideas if 3g/wifi antennas come with the board as well or are those sold separately ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
msev 5 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 So should we anticipate full GPIO support in the future then? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dach 0 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Is something expected for Orange Pi 2G-IOT ??? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zador.blood.stained 764 Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So far there is no documentation (apart from the schematics) and no sources; also doesn't look like this SoC has even a tiny bit of mainlining progress, so chances of getting a fully supported Armbian image are very low. For the curious people default (for the BootROM and image preflashed in the NAND) baud rate for the "debug" serial console is 921600 Edit: software package was released 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hojnikb 17 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Looks like there will be some effort to clean up the kernel https://github.com/RDA8810 Also, SDK and sources https://mega.nz/#F!59EVmKAZ!5FdBb2dQIMcxgY2h16nGPg 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

@lex 126 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Please, full SDK would be better to get inside info, thank you! Later we wipe Android Just in time: @zador.blood.stained Unless you already built an image without full SDK and could share your inside info on how to build it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like who Ziped that SDK ziped img, obj, temp files, etc... Sure a clean would reduce that to half. Mega is a pain for me, over quota every time. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
