Orange Pi 5B downloads
Manuals, schematics, tools and system images for the Orange Pi 5B. Every link goes to the official source — we mirror nothing, so you always get the current file.
Official resources
Start with the user manual — it covers imaging, first boot and the 26-pin header. The schematic and mechanical drawing are what you need for carrier boards and enclosures.
Official images
Written to a microSD card or flashed to the onboard eMMC. If you bought the 8GB + 64GB or 16GB + 128GB configuration from us, the eMMC is the faster target.

Stuck on imaging or first boot?
Flashing eMMC, getting a board to boot headless and matching a distribution to a use case are all part of the local support we provide on boards bought here.
