Successful installation on Orange Pi Zero2

[ameesme]

Hi @Nachtzuster,

Thank you for your effort in supporting BirdNET Pi. It's much appreciated.

This is just a ping to let other Orange Pi owners know that I was able to set up your fork on a Orange Pi Zero2 running the latest Debian image provided by Orange Pi (currently Orangepizero2_3.1.0_debian_bookworm_server_linux6.1.31). The only modification required was setting up passwordless sudo.

@ameesme Thanks for the feedback.
That board does look like a nice, efficient way to run BirdNET-Pi.
Even more broadly, any board running a 64bit Debian Bookworm based os, will most likely do these days. No guaranties though 😉
(I'm running this one)

Hi all, here is my "quick an dirty" installation instruction for the Orange Pi Zero 2W. Maybe somebody will find it helpful...
Cheers, Carsten

I am not a linux pro - additions and improvements are welcome!

Well that's encouraging! First (reported) install on a semi-alien system and it went smoothly! I think there's something in the fact that everything is now updated for the "current" releases of all packages. Everything just seems to get up and boogie!

Let me use this topic to say a huge thanks to @Nachtzuster for keep running the Rasp-Pi project.
After many tries, with many installation fails in the original BirdNET-PI I've moved to this fork and everyting is running just fine

thank you very much,
I have no much tech skills - but will try to help here as much as I can!!

Hi @Nachtzuster...Than you for keeping the BirdNet dream alive :-D
I am just trying out the OrangePI Zero 2w and got it done with Patrick´s repo.
I will try an Installation with your repo, too
The OPI ist much better performing than RPI02w, so this will be a game changer for our monitoring projects
Thanks so far, I will keep you updated.
Cheers, Carsten

P.S.: Migrated to your Repo on a OPI02W with no problems! Excellent work!

Hi @ameesme
Great, thanks for the Info :-) I will try this out.
cheers, Carsten

@BAM-Team How does the wattage of the OrangePi compare to the RPi02W? Also where do you think the performance increase comes from?

@MichaelPWalter
Hi Michael, I don't have an exact comparison in terms of wattage. With a 20000mAh power bank I can run the OrangePi for about 40 hours. Performance: My OrangePi has 4GB memory, RPi02W 0.5 GB (!) - OrangePi CPU clock speed is 1.5 GHz instead of 1 GHz. The big performance advantage comes imho from the higher memory configuration. Cheers, Carsten

I have it running on an Orange Pi Zero 3 1.5GB running Armbian and it works great. Currently using a Movo LV1-USB mic, but also have had it feeding off 3 RTSP security camera streams. Not sure about power usage, but mine is powered off PoE through a PoE splitter.
