# Introduction Mesh Stations takes advantage of the millions of existing compute devices in the community and repurpose them to provide basic communication and storage infrastructure to [Private Cyberspaces](https://privatecyberspace.com). Mesh Stations give your Private Cyberspace communication bandwidth and storage capacity at revolutionary price points by combining free yet featureful software (e.g. OpenWrt) with low cost yet powerful hardware (e.g. Raspberry Pi). We have tested and actively support a number of operating systems (currently [DietPi](https://dietpi.com/), [Armbian](https://www.armbian.com/), [Raspberry Pi OS](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/) and [OpenWrt](https://openwrt.org/)) and we welcome the community to introduce others. ![mesh_station_os](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/a/ad18897376b9ff3c4da9bfa8489c5476e822f9c3.png) If your device is supported by multiple operating systems and you have no particular preference, then the recommended order to try them out is currently DietPi then Armbian then Raspberry Pi OS then OpenWrt. # ophub There is an Armbian fork call ophub which provides its own version of ophub armbian and ophub openwrt on many extra devices not officially supported by Armbian (a lot of cheap TV boxes): - [ophub ยท GitHub](https://github.com/ophub) The ophub kernel is from [unifreq](https://github.com/unifreq) which is from [chewitt](https://github.com/chewitt/linux), note ophub openwrt is actually built on top of ophub armbian as well: - [If this is safe to use, why is it not in the main OpenWrt download area? - #4 by Simav - Community Builds, Projects & Packages - OpenWrt Forum](https://forum.openwrt.org/t/if-this-is-safe-to-use-why-is-it-not-in-the-main-openwrt-download-area/144322/4) ophub is not as established as Armbian so need to be used with extreme care. ---

# Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS For those who cannot afford to deploy a Mesh Junction on a Home Station between the Internet and their local network, Orange Pi R1 Plus LTS can be a lower cost lower performance option. ![opir1p_lts](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/1/13afbbc64ddf1196d4825e1be861fbc17264b313.jpeg) ![opir1p_lts_back](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/0/03cd87777566d5e69ffae8cdd0661a6feca69616.jpeg) Armbian: > **[Orange Pi R1+ and LTS - Armbian](https://www.armbian.com/orangepi-r1plus-lts/)** > > Images for non LTS version can be downloaded here There is currently a known issue that may affect this board on some IPv4 only networks.

# Odroid HC1 An EIGHT core computer with real-time clock designed using a big heat sink as the case with space for a 2.5" SSD. Great as a dedicated fast Infinite Disk file server. ![odriod_hc1](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6d73e21a269e1609f504843f5a7bdc82ecfd3ecf.jpeg) ![hc1_1](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/2/207c3d6304cc9dd67f3ff23c20c4e6e42487bd89.png) ![hc1_2](https://discuss.88.io/uploads/default/original/2X/0/0429ca541f2e636268d849440238c3f46ed37c64.png) [Odroid HC1](https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-hc1-home-cloud-one/) uses the same operating system image as Odriod XU4, Armbian has some optimisation specifically for HC1. > **[Odroid XU4 / HCx - Armbian](https://www.armbian.com/odroid-xu4/)** > > For HC1 and HC2 we provide specially optimized config which you can enable via armbian-config -\> system -\> kernel -\> select odroid configuration.
