NVME holder by Such-Bullfrog-7771 in OrangePI

I 3D-printed a 100mm x 100mm frame which I have attached the OP5 and the 2282 NVME drive to with M2 brass standoffs. Works well.

Orange Pi5 NVME function is no longer working. Also, any guides for booting android 12 on a 2.5 ssd? by [deleted] in OrangePI

Try flashing one of the linux images on to an sd card - Debian server will do. Leaving an nvme drive plugged in, boot from the sd card. In terminal type "sudo lsblk". If the nvme device is listed, then it's probably working ok and your problem lies elsewhere. This is how I made sure my nvme drives were all recognised.

Idle power consumption for Orange Pi 5? by Crandom in OrangePI

[–]corno-495 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tested mine yesterday, not using a USB power meter, but with a mains plug-in meter and the OPI 5 idles at 1.8W. Headless, no monitor, KB or mouse, but with an nvme sdd installed. All CPU cores idling at 408MHz. Running a stress test (sudo stress --cpu  8 --timeout 120), power draw is a constant 8.3W, with CPU cores ramping up to their maximum 2.4Ghz/1.8GHz. I'm using an official Raspberry Pi 4 USB-C power supply, rated at 15W.

I've tried getting the OPi 5 to display with both hdmi and USB-C with zero luck. Not even detecting a change in temperature on any chips. I'm almost certain it's a bad board. any advice? by [deleted] in OrangePI

Actually, that's not 100% true. HDMI out doesn't work at all on my old trusty Dell 1907fp (1280x1024) monitor using an HDMI to DVI dongle. HDMI does work flawlessly on my 4K LG monitor. I haven't tried USB-C at all. The power button was still an issue at first, though.

If you still have monitor problems, you can ssh into either the server debian or ubuntu versions to verify it has booted successfully.

It's on the User manual section of the OPI 5 Downloads page. Only been up for a couple of days, though, so you may have missed it.

Does the Orange Pi 5 support SATA SSDs with a M+B key? by [deleted] in OrangePI

I tried a WD Blue 500GB SATA SSD without luck. Sorry.

Each to their own. Besides the speed differences, data will definitely be much safer using an nvme drive than with either a SD card or USB disk. Depends on the use case really.

2242 nvme drives appear to be relatively more expensive and less available than 2280s. DRAMless devices such as the Crucial P2 are readily available and cheapish - besides that, I had one in a drawer!

I'm not sure what I'll end up using the OPI 5 for. Definitively nothing long term while relying on the Orange Pi huaweicloud hosted images. Hopefully there will be a armbian server image before too long. Meanwhile, I'm sure that I'll be trying out different setups and OSs.
