OrangePi support is terrible. Maybe it's better with the 5, but the 4 I've struggled with getting a library to work with the GPIO pins, documentation on the NPU is limited, and I can't get it to recognize a standard serial camera.

It's possible I'm just trying to do weird things, but it's a much worse experience than I've ever had with a raspberry pi and I regret not spending more to just get the pi. I've lost probably 10+ hours just trying to deal with some things I'd consider basic, and had to create weird workarounds that hurt performance in other areas.
