Orange Pi User Manual Shenzhen Xunlong Software CO., Limited
www.orangepi.org www.xunlong.tv
minutes. There are three steps to boot your Orange Pi.
Step 1: Get what you need
To enjoy the use of your Orange Pi, you will need at least the accessories in the table
below.
No. Item Minimum recommended specification & notes
1
TF card
• Minimum size 4Gb; class 4 (the class indicates how fast the card is).
• We recommend using branded TF cards as they are more reliable.
2a
HDMI(Full
sized) to HDMI
/ DVI lead
• HDMI to HDMI lead (for HD TVs and monitors with HDMI input).
OR
HDMI to DVI lead (for monitors with DVI input).
2b
AV video lead
• A standard AV video lead to connect to your analogue display if
you are not using the HDMI output.
3
Keyboard and
mouse
• Any standard USB keyboard and mouse should work.
• Keyboards or mice that take a lot of power from the USB ports, however,
may need a powered USB hub. This may include some wireless devices.
4
Ethernet
cable/USB
WiFi(Optional)
• Networking is optional, although it makes updating and getting new
software for your Orange Pi much easier.
5
DC power
adapter
• A good quality, DC power supply that can provide at least
2.0A at 5V is essential. Most of the micro USB through the PC to supply
Power cann’t be used, because the moment of starting current of about 1.5A.
6
Audio lead
(Optional)
• You can choose a 3.5mm jack audio led to connect to
audio port to get stereo audio.
7
Mobile Hard
disk (Optional)
• You can choose to connect a mobile hard disk to SATA port to store more files .

Step2: Prepare your TF card for the Orange Pi
In order to enjoy your Orange Pi, you will need to install an Operating
System (OS) onto an TF card. Instructions below will teach you how to write
an OS image to your TF card under Windows and Linux.
Windows:
1. Insert your TF card into your computer. The size of TF should be
larger than the OS image size, generally 4GB or greater.
2. Format the TF card.
i. Download the a TF card format tool such as TF Formatter from
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/eula_windows/.
ii. Unzip the download file and run the setup.exe to install the tool on
your machine.
iii. In the "Options" menu, set "FORMAT TYPE" option to QUICK,
"FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT" option to "ON".
Orange Pi User Manual Shenzhen Xunlong Software CO., Limited
www.orangepi.org www.xunlong.tv
iv. Check that the TF card you inserted matches the one selected by
the tool.
v. Click the “Format” button.
3. Download the OS image from the Downloads webpage.
i. Website:http://www.orangepi.org/downloaded/download.html
4. Unzip the download file to get the OS image (exclude android os
image, android os image need other burn mode.).
i. Right click on the file and choose “Extract all”.
5. Write the image file to the TF card.
i. Download a tool that can wirte image to TF card, such as Win32
Diskimager from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/files/Archive/
ii. Open the unzipped image file.
iii. Click Write button. Wait patiently to successfully complete writing.

www.orangepi.org www.xunlong.tv
Linux:
1. Insert your TF card into your computer. The size of TF should be
larger than the OS image size, generally 4GB or greater.
2. Format the TF card.
i. Run
fdisk –l /dev/sdx
command to check the TF card node.
ii. Run
umount /dev/sdxx
to unmount all the partitions of the TF card.
iii. Run
sudo fdisk /dev/sdx
command to configure TF card. Use o
command to delete all partition of TF card and use
n
command to
add one new partition. Use
w
command to save change.
iv. Run
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdx1
command to format the new created
partition of TF card as FAT32.
(x should be replaced according to your TF card node)
You can also jump this step under Linux, because write image command
dd under Linux will format the TF card automatically.
3. Download the OS image from the Downloads webpage.
i. Website:http://www.orangepi.org/downloaded/download.html
4. Unzip the download file to get the OS image (exclude android os image,
android os image need other burn mode.).
i. Run
unzip [downloaded filename]
command.
5. Write the image file to the TF card.
i. Run
fdisk –l /dev/sdx
command to check the TF card node.
ii. Verify if the hash key of the zip file is the same as shown on the downloads
page (optional).
sha1sum [path]/[imagename]
This will print out a long hex number which should match the "SHA-1" line
for the TF image you have downloaded
iii. Run umount /dev/sdxx to unmount all the partition of the the TF card
iv. Run sudo dd bs=4M if=[path]/[imagename] of=/dev/sdx command to write image
file to TF card. Wait patiently to successfully complete writing. Please note that block
size set to 4M will work most of the time, if not, please try 1M, although 1M will take
considerably longer.You can use sudo pkill –USR1 –n –x dd command to check
progress
Step3: Set up your Orange Pi
According to the set up diagram below, you can easily set up your Orange
Pi.

1. Insert the written-image TF card into the TF card slot on the
bottom edge of the underside of the board.
2. On the top edge in the middle of the board is the HDMI Type A
(Full sized) port, just on the left of the SATA port. Just connect
any HDMI Type A cable from the board to your TV or HDMI
Monitor.
If you don't have a TV/Monitor with a HDMI or DVI-D port you
can use the VGA just on the left of the HDMI or use the AV jack
located on the right edge topside.
3. Plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the USB slots located on the
left edge.
4. Just between the four USB ports on the left edge is the ethernet
connector for anyone who wants to plug the Orange Pi into a wired
network. You can also use wifi to connect network.
5. Finally, on the right edge, under the AV jack is the DC power
connector. Plug in a regulated power supply that is rated at 5V ±
5% and at least 1500mA (or 2.0A). Any number bigger than 1500
mA will also work. On the right edge, under the power switch is the
micro-usb power connector. Avoid using the smaller chargers
used for small GSM phones, as these are often unregulated, even if
they claim "5V 2A", they may do "5V" and may do "2A", but not at
the same time! Make sure you have the correct USB plug. In the
photo below, the mini-USB (on the left) is the wrong one. It’s
thicker and looks like a trapezoid with its sides pinched in. The
micro-USB (on the right) is the correct one. It is thinner and also
looks like a trapezoid except it’s sides are rounded outward.
Orange Pi User Manual Shenzhen Xunlong Software CO., Limited
www.orangepi.org www.xunlong.tv
Note : The micro-usb power connector can only make
Android
system startup, and two usb hosts near 18 Pins Pins Extended
Interface are not available. In addition, the SATA is also not
available. If you want to start all available systems(such as
Android, Lubuntu
), or want to test all USB HOSTs and SATA, you
need to use DC power connector.
6. If you have a free 2.5 inch hard drive, you can put it into use on
Orange Pi. Connect the SATA cable to the SATA port just on the
right of HDMI. Remember to put the power cable with the 2 male
2.54mm headers into the SATA power. Then you can plug your
hard drive into the other side of the SATA cable. Be careful with
the connection of different color cables. (This step can be skipped)
If all goes well, the Orange Pi will boot in a few minutes. The screen
will display the OS GUI(Graphical User Interface). The first boot of a
new OS can sometimes take a long time. Be patient!
Subsequent boots are usually much quicker.
Step4: Shut down your Orange Pi
You can use the GUI to shut down the Orange Pi safely.
Also you can run the command in the terminal:
sudo halt
or
sudo shutdown –h.
This will shut down the PI safely, (just use the power key to turn off might
damage the TF-cards file system). After that you can press the power key
for 5 seconds to turn it off.
If all is well ,so you can use orange pi now.
