WPSD Support for OrangePi Platforms has been Dropped
I have made the decision to drop WPSD support for the OrangePi platform.
The main reason is we simply don’t have enough users to justify the labor, hosting and support that goes into building these disk images for ~100 users (out of the MANY thousands of total users).
Other (non-exhaustive list of) reasons for this decision:
- OrangePi hardware sucks. I have had two OrangePi boards die in less than two years.
- OrangePi hardware is slow.
- RaspberryPi and NanoPi hardware is better, faster, and more available.
- OrangePi GPIO is all hacked up.
- No one donated OrangePi hardware for me to develop and test for, and I’m not buying any more of them.
If you have have and OrangePi SBC, and want to run WPSD on it; sorry. Get a supported board. If you are a current WPSD user running it on an OrangePi SBC, the WPSD team can no longer support you if you have issues.
Get a Raspberry Pi or NanoPi.
