The driver is the same that Buddy mentioned in post #1.
But it should be installed using "Have disk" method.
For details on how to apply this method, please, watch the youtube video.

Thanks, It worked for me. I just uncompressed the tools and the downloaded android image and then run the tool and loaded the image and it was flashed at the first try.

I did not installed the usb drivers since my laptop had installed the adb and android sdk and the generic google usb drivers.
At the first time when I attached the board using usb otg cable to the laptop it was detected as Rdamicro RDA SmartPhone device in android studio, and as Android Device/Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface in the Windows Device Manager.

If matters my laptop OS is Win Vista 32bit.

As a suggestionit may be good if the build & release & kernel versions for the OS (android) was published in name or comments of the image files provided by OrangePi guys.
