I had a project where I used a raspberry pi, but I had to switch to orange pi. Does anyone know what's the best way to get it working?

May I ask why you had to make the switch? Just curious.

This is completely outside my wheelhouse, but a quick Google search of ways to port raspberry pi to orange pi didn’t turn up anything too useful to my naive eyes.

Good luck!

Using Win32Disk Imager to run the OS Raspbian on Orange Pi is what I feel you are looking for.

I would suggest reading the manual for the device you are using. Plenty of tools and resources provided.

E.g., on page 231-234 shows SSH setup for the Orange Pi 5 Pro.

Hope that helps.

After some more reading I concluded that the best tool for this would be armbian. In case anyone else is interested these were the instructions I found:
