Leighton,

   Not really. What is special about the Orange Pi and why do you want to
use it besides you bought it? Why not use a Pi3. It is plenty powerful and
the advantage is very well supported. We looked at other boards in the past
like the Odroid. I am actually running an Odroid C3+ with Allstar here now.
Support is abysmal. The last Kernel was about 3.10.

The problem with using anything strange is in the end you get burned mainly
because of lack of software support. I say run Allstar on a known and tried
and true board and leave the playing to the others.
