Orange Pi RK3399 Board Gets 4GB RAM for $100

Orange Pi RK3399 development board launched last year, further crowding the RK3399 space. The board did not target the lower end of the market with a $109 price tag, but still came with only 2GB of RAM. Shenzhen Xunlong has now introduced a 4GB RAM version of the board for $99.96, with the 2GB version now selling for $89.38. Both boards can be purchased on Aliexpress.

Software-wise you’ll find Android and Ubuntu/Debian desktop/server images that have last been updated in February / March of 2018 on the download page, as well as the Android SDK and Linux source code. The community appears to have focused on lower-cost RK3399 boards such as NanoPi NEO4 or Rock64Pro, and for example, there’s no Armbian image for the Orange Pi RK3399 board, even one suitable for testing (WiP).
