2. Opsætningsvejledning

This section outlines the steps required to set up your Orange Pi 4 Pro for initial use.

2.1 Strømforsyning

The Orange Pi 4 Pro requires a 5V/3A power supply connected via the Type-C power port. Ensure you use a stable and compatible power adapter to prevent operational issues.

2.2 Installation af operativsystem

The Orange Pi 4 Pro supports various operating systems, including Android, Debian, Ubuntu, and OpenHarmony. You will need to prepare an operating system image and flash it onto a compatible storage medium.

  1. Choose an OS: Select your preferred operating system image from the official Orange Pi webwebsted eller fællesskabsressourcer.
  2. Forbered opbevaring: Insert a MicroSD card (Class 10 or higher recommended) or an M.2 M-Key 2280 PCIe NVMe SSD into the respective slot on the board. The board also supports eMMC/UFS storage.
  3. Flash Image: Use a disk imaging tool (e.g., Etcher, Win32 Disk Imager) on a separate computer to write the OS image to your chosen storage medium.
  4. Indsæt opbevaring: Once the image is flashed, insert the MicroSD card or M.2 SSD into the Orange Pi 4 Pro.

2.3 Indledende forbindelser

Before powering on, connect the necessary peripherals:

  • Vise: Connect a monitor via the HDMI port.
  • Inputenheder: Connect a keyboard and mouse to the USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports.
  • Netværk: For a wired connection, connect an Ethernet cable to the Gigabit Ethernet port.
