Orange Pi recently launched a single board computer equipped with an octa-core Rockchip RK35588 SoC along with an up to 6 TOPs NPU. The new SBC can handle up to four displays, two 2.5GbE LAN  interfaces and many other expansion ports.

Unlike the Orange Pi 5 (Rockchip RK3588S), this new SBC implements the 64-bit RK35588 SoC with 8nm LP process. 

• RK3588 — 4x Cortex A76 cores (up to 2.4GHz); 4x Cortex-A55 cores (up to 1.8GHz); Arm Mali-G610 GPU; 6 TOPS NPU

The product page shows the Orange Pi 5 Plus available with different memory configurations ranging from 4GB to 16GB (LPDDR4/4x). For storage, the SBC provides a MicroSD card slot, an eMMC socket with support for up to 256GB and a M.2 M-key slot for NVMe SSD (up to 2,000 MB/s) located on the bottom side.

One edge of the board features the power connector (Type-C), 2x 2.5GbE LAN ports, 2x HDMI out (up to [email protected]), 1x HDMI in ([email protected]) and 2x stacked USB 2.0 interfaces.

The opposite of the board exposes 1x USB 3.0 port, 2x stacked USB 3.0 ports, 1x MIC, 1x 3.5mm audio jack, a MaskROM button, 1x power button and an IR receiver. The camera connector (MIPI CSI 4-Lane) and the MIPI DSI 4-Lane connector (up to 4[email protected]) can be found on the bottom of the device as shown below.

Serial interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, I2S, SDIO, etc. are available via the 40-pin expansion headers present in similar Orange Pi boards.

OrangePi OS images are not available yet, but might be available under the Downloads page in the near future. Armbian might also provide support for this board since they released images for the predecessor Orange Pi 5/5B not so long ago.
