Tips, Tricks, Caveats
FEL mode
The button marked SW3, located between the HDMI and TTL UART, triggers FEL mode when pressed during boot.
To verify you have successfully entered FEL mode, check the output of fel version. For the Orange Pi Mini 2, it should look like:
AWUSBFEX soc=00001680(unknown) 00000001 ver=0001 44 08 scratchpad=00007e00 00000000 00000000
LEDs
For those with a transparent case (or no case at all) the Orange Pi Mini 2's LED activity is good. The red power LED (D7) can be turned off.
Adding a serial port
Locating the UART
The UART pins are located between DC input and Uboot Button(SW3) of the board. They are marked as TX, RX and GND on the PCB. Just attach some leads according to our UART Howto. Do not connect the red wire (VCC or 3.3V/5V), as that might damage your board.

Variants
- The original Orange Pi was released in November 2014. The orange pi features a standard TF card slot and a 26 pin GPIO connector (similar to the Raspberry Pi A/B).
- The Orange Pi Mini was released in November 2014, too. It has two TF card slots and only has 2 USB Host.
- The Orange Pi Plus was presented in February 2015. It's a new board, and it uses the AllWinner H3 SoC. It Has a 8GB EMMC Flash, Onboard Network(10/100/1000M Ethernet RJ45), Onboard WIFI(Realtek RTL8189ETV, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n), Video Outputs(Supports HDMI CEC, Supports HDMI 3D function, Integrated CVBS, Supports simultaneous output of HDMI and CVBS) and a 40 pin GPIO header (that mimics the Raspberry Pi A+/B+ models).
- Now Orange Pi 2 and Orange Pi Mini 2 are released in March 2015. They are both based on a quad-core H3 CPU, and offer TF card slot, onboard Network(10/100M Ethernet RJ45), 40 pin GPIO and 4 USB type A connectors. They are difference in onboard wifi. Orange Pi 2 has wifi module, while Orange Pi Mini 2 does not have. However, the two kinds of devices do not have SATA any more.
