 ===== Hardware =====
+You definitely want to purchase an EMMC, 32GB would be plenty of space, because the uSD can be unstable and fail badly after unwanted power interruptions.
+You sohuld get 4GB of RAM, since 2GB is the bare minimum and 8GB probably overkill.
+I opted to purchase also a mini cooling fan and a transparent enclusure to fit everything inside safely.
 ===== Flashing operating system =====
+Home Assistant doesn't provide a build specifically for the OrangePi brand, only for the RaspberryPi and the two are not directly compatible.
+Luckly, the Armbian community provides a readily available Armbian build with preloaded the Home Assistant image, go  [[https://www.armbian.com/orangepi3b/|here]] to download the image.
+The direct dowload link is [[https://dl.armbian.com/orangepi3b/Bookworm_current_minimal-homeassistant|this]].
+Flash the image with with Balena Etcher on a uSD card.
 ===== First boot =====
+Plug the uSD in the OrangePi 3B, connect the OrangePi 3B to a wired LAN cable and power it up.
 Check your DHCP to know which IP has been assigned to your Opi3B and ssh into it as user //root// using password //1234//.
