The live SKU is the Orange Pi 5 family only. Everything below is what we have actually put on the bench — if it is not listed as tested, we are not claiming it.
Status key
- Tested — bench-verified by us.
- Unconfirmed — wiring is correct; driver/overlay support is up to your OS. Not tested.
- Electrical — the connector wiring matches and the sensor should work, but we haven’t bench-tested it yet.
- Broken — known not to work on this OS.
Boards
- Supported: Orange Pi 5, 5B, 5 Plus, 5 Max and 5 Pro.
- Not yet checked: Orange Pi 5 Ultra, AI Pro, RV2, 4A and 6-series. We’ll list these once they’re bench-checked.
