Xunlong Orange Pi Plus 2

= Identification = The PCB has the following silkscreened on it: Orange Pi Plus 2 V1.1

= Expansion Port =

The Orange Pi Plus 2 has a Raspberry Pi model B+ compatible 40-pin, 0.1" connector with several low-speed interfaces.

= Tips, Tricks, Caveats =

FEL mode
The button triggers  FEL mode.

Compatibility
Device should be compatible with images for Orange Pi Plus with some minor issues (notably - Wi-Fi chip not working), but all other major components should work out of the box:
 * Ethernet
 * USB Devices
 * eMMC Storage
 * Internal Audio
 * USB-SATA Chip

Overheating
Due to quite high frequency (around 1.6 GHz) it's possible to easily overheat chip which may lead to decreasing CPU / DDR frequency or disabling one or more CPUs. Installing heatsink and using cpufreq should help to avoid this problem.

= Serial port =

Locating the UART
Serial port is located near power jack, between SW3 and SW4 buttons. Pins are marked as Tx / Rx / GND on PCB. Please refer to UART Howto in case of any problems.

= Variants =
 * Orange Pi Plus is pretty similar regarding USB/SATA but has half the amount of DRAM and eMMC storage
 * Named pretty similar the cheaper Orange Pi Plus 2E adds Realtek RTL8189FTV SDIO-based WiFi directly on the board (as opposed to a soldered-on module), exposes all USB host ports without an internal hub and saves the slow GL830 USB-to-SATA bridge.
