In this comprehensive review, I test the Orange Pi RV2 - a new single board computer (SBC) featuring RISC-V architecture instead of the usual ARM processors found in Raspberry Pi and similar boards. The Orange Pi RV2 packs eight SpacemiT X60 cores, dual M.2 slots, dual gigabit Ethernet, 4GB RAM, Wi-Fi 5, and both eMMC and SD card storage options into a credit card-sized form factor. I put this affordable SBC through real-world testing including flashing on Linux and Windows, Ubuntu Linux performance, graphics capabilities, power consumption analysis, and connectivity tests. Whether you're new to single board computers, curious about RISC-V technology as an alternative to ARM, or looking for your next embedded computing project, this detailed hands-on review covers everything from initial setup and OS installation to benchmark results and final tier list ranking. Whilst this is new for Orange Pi and they have some ways to go, most improvements suggested are software or documentation, this is still a great board that would make an excellent OpenWRT router, and would be great for makers, developers, and hobbyists interested in affordable computing platforms for IoT projects, open source ecosystems, home automation, or learning embedded systems development.
