Orange Pi is a series of cost effective single-board computers (SBC) designed and manufactured by Shenzhen Xunlong Software Co., Ltd.

Orange Pi OS is the officially supported operating system for Orange Pi boards. However, the boards are compatible with other operating systems based on the Linux kernel such as Android.

The Orange Pi range competes with Raspberry Pi in the SBC market.

History The first model of Orange Pi was released in 2014. Thirty other models have been launched since.

In 2022, the company announced and released Orange Pi OS, an operating system that comes in three flavours. One is based on Huawei's HarmonyOS, the second is based on Arch Linux while the third, Orange Pi OS Droid, is based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).

The modern Orange Pi boards are also compatible with third-party operating systems, like Debian/Armbian, Ubuntu and Android.

As of 2025, Orange Pi OS appears to be based on Ubuntu Linux.

Orange Pi also partners with companies and higher education systems internationally, such as UCDavis, Oviton Technologie GmbH, and Makerlab Electronics.
