Orange PI 5

The Orange Pi 5 is a Single-Board Computer with a Rockchip RK3588s SoC.

System configuration

None of the basic components (Kernel, HW acceleration drivers) are available from upstream NixOS.

Building a working system requires additional configuration.

@ryan4yin's flake

A minimal flake that makes NixOS running on Orange Pi 5: https://github.com/ryan4yin/nixos-rk3588

Orange PI 5B

The next version of OPI5 which added eMMC and WIFI/BT by default.

Flake: https://github.com/fb87/nixos-orangepi-5x/blob/v5.10.x/flake.nix

This flake which is extended version of ryan4yin by adding bootloader by default to create the bootable SDImage( The prebuilt https://github.com/fb87/nixos-orangepi-5x/releases/download/v0.1.0/nixos-sd-image-23.05.20230613.c702c94-aarch64-linux.img.zst can already be used).

Note: bootloader requires `python2` which is no longer receiving updates since 2020. The `NIXPKGS_ALLOW_INSECURE=1` has to be passed in order to build.
