System configuration

The board uses UEFI boot (pre-installed in SPI flash), which simplifies the boot process compared to U-Boot based boards.

Hardware support requires the vendor kernel (6.1.44) and proprietary drivers from orangepi-xunlong.

@i-am-logger's flake

NixOS flake for CIX CD8180/CD8160 SoC boards: https://github.com/i-am-logger/nixos-cix-cd8180

Includes:

  • Vendor kernel 6.1.44 with hardware support
  • GPU, NPU, ISP, VPU drivers (packaged, untested)
  • SD card, NVMe/eMMC, and network boot (PXE)
  • Orange Pi tools (orangepi-config, wiringop)

Boot methods

The Orange Pi 6 Plus supports multiple boot methods via UEFI:

  • SD Card: Flash image and boot
  • NVMe: Install to faster storage after SD card setup
  • Network (PXE): Boot over network without local storage

See the repository documentation for installation instructions.
