I've put together a quick walkthrough of how to set up the Voyager SDK with a Metis M.2 card on the Orange Pi 5 Plus, and wanted to share the full process with you all. This has turned out to be a fantastic low-cost dev setup to start experimenting with edge AI using our Metis platform.

Here’s what we cover:

• Installing the Metis M.2 card
• Setting up the Orange Pi with the proper OS image
• Installing the Voyager SDK (using SSH, so you can do it headless)
• Running a YOLOv5 demo with live inference

Everything is done using standard tools like Balena Etcher, SSH, and a few terminal commands. Whether you’re building a prototype or just exploring Metis on embedded platforms, this setup is a great place to start on a device that's cheap, powerful, and very easy to use.
