As i mention earlier, The Orange Pi One just arrived this yesterday’in a nice condition. And i was thinking it’s probably a good idea to post a quick unboxing here. This is my first ever development board i ever have, so it’s kinda exciting to actualy put my hands on it. Not that i actually planning to buy this, but thanks to Perdana Hadi aka’ceroberoz *and certain’people at the IoT Telegram groups that makes me hooked up to this board.’If you’re in Indonesia and wan’t to buy any IEM, Adruino or Mini PC kit, i highly recommend you to buy it from his (ceroberoz*) Kere Keren Store‘at BukaLapak.

Alright, before we jump to the unboxing let’s find out technical stuff about this’Orange Pi One.
