Orange PI 5 Plus
The Orange Pi 5 Plus is a Single-Board Computer with a Rockchip RK3588 SoC.
Note that rk3588 is the same as rk3588s, but with more I/O pins (Linux device trees for rk3588 include rk3588s).
System configuration
None of the basic components (Kernel, HW acceleration drivers) are available from upstream NixOS.
Join `#nixos-on-arm:nixos.org` Matrix channel to hang out with users that are running this board. As of writing, here is an upstream PR for rk3588 boards: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/292667
As of writing, building a working system requires additional configuration.
@ryan4yin's flake
A minimal flake that makes NixOS running on Orange Pi 5: https://github.com/ryan4yin/nixos-rk3588
What to do when bootloader breaks (SPI)?
If you flash uBoot with incorrect bootloader, you may be unable to load anything else until uboot is fixed. Orange Pi 5 Plus supports maskrom mode with `rkdeveloptool`, as documented here: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/26418-maskrom-erase-spi/#comment-175057
