2025-10-15 71

Leveraging the powerful H618 chip, the Orange Pi Zero 3 is a game-changer for DIY projects.

Products like the Orange Pi Zero 3 have successfully demonstrated their potential to the community. However, the potential of the H618 is far from being fully explored.

Now, with our TP-A1 H618 SBC- A single-board computer designed to redefine the H618 standard, you can have more options and can do more on the board- we have added more functions to make it applicable to professional developers and industrial applications on the basis of retaining the core advantages of H618 that the general public expects.
