I like how the Odroid M1S comes not just in its own case, but also with a first-boot installer on its eMMC. That makes getting started a lot easier! This is a very nifty and thrifty (well, if you consider $49 for 4GB or $59 for 8GB to be thrifty, just wanted to rhyme) little SBC and a great review for it too. :)

@@Reziac "Right, But if you're stuck, the salon car will still get you down the road." No, you're not answering my direct point, you're creating a different scenario - "driving down the road" is not the same scenario as "off-roading a car". Please stay on topic. "I think it's good to stress-test these things with more OS than they can really handle, so we see how they perform while being maxed out." Again, where did I mention "stress testing"? "Expectation of a desktop replacement" is not the same as "testing the suitability for such". There's no point responding to me if you're not going to address my actual points. "Gives a better idea what their realistic limits are than does just using them for the intended purpose." Sure, but if you're an engineer like me who knows what he is doing, you don't "stress test" every single possible platform that might be used for a particular solution - you eliminate most of them before you even get to "stress testing". "Stress testing" is something an expert does, "expecting an SBC to replace a desktop or laptop" is something someone who doesn't know what they are doing does.

Stick with the clones - in my experience which dates back to Pi A and Pi B models the first practical SBCs, I've found the Chinese do it better for less money and now we have developers like the Armbian project providing excellent support for many of them, there's littler reason to bother with our home grown stuff. OK, I'm cheap, but I'm also dirt poor and I've been running some early clones as file servers for years (with DietPI and SAMBA). They're almost bullet proof and run from small 5V, 2A (10W) wall warts without ever breaking sweat. Linux servers are so stable that they can sometimes run even if some idiot pulls the disk (SD card) and often when a drive develops a fault in a non-critical area (that's only used during boot for example). Not that I recommend trying such a stunt, but leave them alone and they're as solid and reliable as a wall socket. And you can forget them almost as easily.

I saw there is a Mini-ITX RISC-V motherboard out there called the Milk V Jupiter. It really is a step in the right direction for RISC-V. I think in a couple of years most budget computers are going to have ARM and RISC-V processors instead of X86 processors.
@LargeDivisor5 ай бұрын
As much as I love RISC-V, I fear your prediction is only half true. ARM is the only architecture between the two that has enough corporate support to break into the budget PC market. RISC-V may achieve the same, but it is well more than a couple of years away at this point. As it stands, RISC-V is chipping away at the bottom of the microcontroller market which was once occupied by the likes of PIC, and Google is reportedly shipping them at scale in their latest generation of hardware AI/ML accelerators. So there are reasons to be optimistic still. Btw, I got a demo of the Milk-V Jupiter last month at a conference courtesy of the RISC-V team at Red Hat, but it was lacking any graphics acceleration support. I know it has a display accelerator on board, but I'm not sure if it's a case of waiting for the drivers to get merged into the mainline Linux kernel or what. Imo, this class of problem is a big part of what keeps desktop RISC-V from being viable for the masses for the time being.
@RickVanderZee5 ай бұрын
@@LargeDivisor I think that RISC-V is 6 years behind ARM. I think in 2030 RISC-V is going to be used in mini pc's and some laptops. I hope that RISC-V will be used in more and more devices in the near future.

Usually it's the kernel modules being developed ongoing. It's likely that they're either not yet compatible with kernel 6, or built into a later kernel - but this would preclude them continuing their own development purposes - note these are usually sold as "development kits" rather than "home use plug and play sbcs". I was using a brand new Rocki4c+ the other day - and for those reasons, unless you buildroot or armbian your own distro, that's limited to kernel 4.4, and its supplied current base distro is Debian 11 This isn't due to lack of low level bad planning, but that the SLTS CIP [Super long term support civilian infrastructure platform]linux kernel is 4.4 - and so many of these target this Super Long Term kernel for multi-system compatibility reasons - at least at their core development end - as that's what the hardware engineers need - *super long* term stability, not just _long_ term, else they get grumpy :)

Bar AV1 the iGPU (ARM Mali-G52 MP2) has a of full set of decode and encoders, so with the Codec's for those formats and drivers it should run video really well for a entry 2D GPU it is well packed really. (Info found of CPU monkey) it has h264, h265 HEVC (8 bit), h265 / HEVC (10 bit), VP8, VP9, VC-1, AVC and Jpeg, Decode and encode. This would be good for a CCTV system or Media TV streaming system although security low FPS is probably more suited but adding AI via a google Coral card and M.2 adaptor would be strait foreword. Although you would be force to a single chiplet though as I doubt this board will have PCI bifurcation.

It does not have camera connector and that is weird. Also would be nice for these boards to have PoE.
