History

The first model of Orange Pi was released in 2014. Thirty other models have been launched since.{{Cite web |title=Wiki-Orange Pi |url=http://www.orangepi.org/orangepiwiki/index.php/Main_Page#:~:text=In%202014,%20Orange%20Pi's%20first%20open%20source%20product%20was%20officially%20launched, |access-date=2024-11-18 |website=www.orangepi.org}}

In 2022, Orange Pi OS was released.{{Cite web |last=Li |first=Deng |date=2022-11-28 |title=Orange Pi OS launched, based on Huawei HarmonyOS |url=https://www.huaweicentral.com/orange-pi-os-launched-based-on-huawei-harmonyos/ |access-date=2025-01-03 |website=Huawei Central |language=en-US}} It, by default, comes with the Arch Linux operating system,{{Cite web |title=Orange Pi - Orangepi OS |url=http://www.orangepi.org/html/news/details/os.html#:~:text=In%20November%202022,%20with%20the,Orangepi%20OS,%20was%20also%20launched. |access-date=2024-12-03 |website=www.orangepi.org}} however there are two other versions: Orange Pi OS Droid (mainly used in desktop applications), Orange Pi OS Arch (mainly used in lightweight applications), and Orange Pi OS OH (mainly used for CLI-centered applications).

The modern Orange Pi boards are also compatible with third-party operating systems, like Debian, Ubuntu and Android.{{Cite web |title=Orange Pi - Orangepi |url=http://www.orangepi.org/html/serviceAndSupport/index.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240303231652/http://www.orangepi.org/html/serviceAndSupport/index.html |archive-date=2024-03-03 |access-date=2024-03-03 |website=www.orangepi.org}}

Orange Pi also partners with companies and higher education systems internationally, such as UCDavis, Oviton Technologie GmbH, and Makerlab Electronics.{{Cite web |title=Orange Pi - Orangepi |url=http://www.orangepi.org/html/aboutUs/index.html |access-date=2025-01-03 |website=www.orangepi.org}}
