Does anyone have a line on a mid-tier ARM processor?
Seems like the landscape is missing that middle ground. You either get the low end state of the art RK3588 which is decent but not in the same league as say a Core i5/i7. Or you get the big bois like the Ampere or the soon to be release Qualcomm X Elite which is trying to play at the top.
Where's my 10-12 core 4Ghz proc on an mATX board with a few extra PCIe lanes to play with in the $300-$500 range?
Comparing the three main Zero SBC's in the market right now: Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, Orange Pi Zero 2W, and Radxa Zero 3W #sbc#PiZero2#radxazero3w#opizero2w
For Reasons™ I'm shopping around for Single Board Computers (#SBC). Curious to hear if anyone has any favorites Besides the #RaspberryPi. Looking to run general purpose Linux distros, primarily in headless configuration.
🤖 Duo S RISC-V/Arm SBC features Sophgo SG2000 SoC, Ethernet, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5 connectivity - CNX Software
「 Linux and RTOS are said to be supported on the Duo S, and you’ll find buildroot-built OS images on GitHub to boot from either the microSD card or the eMMC flash. As of the current v1.0.9 image, Duo S does not yet support wiringX (C) and pinpong (Python) GPIO libraries, and Arduino support is not implemented either 」

"This dual-core design offers flexibility and performance for embedded computing. Scheduled to ship in March 2024, this board has improved specifications and features compared to the Duo Classic, and it supports both Linux and FreeRTOS operating systems."
The acrylic case and fan I ordered for the VisionFive 2 a few weeks ago arrived today.
Like almost everything in the RISC-V ecosystem, it arrived as a bunch of raw parts without instructions. Nothing I couldn’t handle, though. #RISCV#SBC#VisionFive2
@justdude Thank you! I went with the acrylic because I had it laying bare on my desk for the past two months, and I really liked seeing it and being able to pick it up and examine it, so I didn’t want to stick it in an opaque case like the various Raspberries Pi I've used.
And I'm running Debian, using the custom image that Starfive provides.
Hehe, I think we actually have a geiger counter and I can check tomorrow, but it should just be phosphor reacting to lights in room. It got "charged up" turn the lights off and looked cool!
Thank you, it is definitely a disappearing knowledge, but I use one daily on my TEM & the dosimeter badge is there for the xray detector, but not screen. 😜
This SBC Case Builder for OpenSCAD, and the SBC Model Library for OpenSCAD it's built atop, is really handy for prototyping cases for newly acquired SBCs, once you get used to the library's board definition format and component library... here's my first pass at adding a NAS board with Rockchip 3588 System-on-Module.
I am still trying to set up a Pi-hole for me. One option is obviously a RPI, but for a simple DNS resolve the 4B is way too overpowered and therefore overpriced imo.
I already found the NanoPi NEO3-LTS and NanoPi R2C Plus very fitting, although I don't like the limited or just nonexistent software support.
Any recommendations for a small, cheap, power efficient SBC with at least Gigabit Ethernet, a SD-Card slot and USB-C for power?
