That's extremely impressive for the size. That thing is gonna be handy for IoT of all sorts, or just retrogaming.

[@RRMGarage]

cool little board, I might have to try one. thanks for the video

[@dividion8102]

That's impressive N64 performance for a "zero"-size board. I'd be interested to see how it handles Ubuntu and if can do any PS2 emulation.

[@cybernit3]

Ya, I just install the new Ubuntu 24.04 LTS; I think there is a small CORE version of Ubuntu that you could probably put on this; seems sort of interesting.

[@IncognitoActivado]

@@cybernit3 Nah, Linux Mint 20 is better.

[@o0julek0o]

[@TheWarmotor]

In my experience a 6 core ARM CPU will do well on DC and PSP games but falls just short for PS2 and GC. There are plenty of 8 core ARM cpus that still choke on that gen, you need like a modern Snapdragon or equivalent. If this one will do PS2, it would be very special in its class...

[@genominer2473]

Awesome! My Uconsole should come soon *crosses fingers* but if you can get it working, i'd definitely would love to upgrade mine too!

[@wanaan]

Looking forward to this form factor in a year running full fat windows.

[@Wilcoleone]

Nice video, one remark if I may. In the specs you mention that the are 2 A55 cores, however the technical specs on the Radxa site show they are A53 cores in the Zero 2 Pro.

[@bgates275]

$91 is a bit pricey. Makes it more expensive than Pi 5. I do like the small form factor though.

[@nate6045]

It's $65 but after shipping and additional on board storage you could be spending more.

[@bgates275]

@@nate6045 The two links have two different prices.

[@jinmong5417]

For the performance you get I’d say it’s reasonable.

Yeah, got a 2nd hand pc for less than half the price. Yeah i know the size is bigger but for my use its irrelevant

[@wimvanderschelden1369]

Looking forward to hearing about how this fits into the uConsole. I really want to get one but the CM4 is just too limited, so waiting on either a CM5 or some other SBCs to fit into one before buying.

[@turaven32space]

This man is a gentleman, even said where was the framerate

[@gregspeakman9337]

Good video. It is quite a bit better SBC than the RPi Zero 2.

[@davebirch2543]

I'd love to throw this in a handheld kit that would usually only take a pi zero. That added performance would be amazing in a GB Advance shell.

[@EngiNetion]

it'd be sweet with a good looking case

Would love to see a emulation test on Batocera with the harder stuff to emulate from N64, Dreamcast, Saturn, Dolphin even at native res. Was kind of hoping that's what I was going to see :D Great video as usual.

[@lnox2449]

I just bought a pi zero 2 w if only i had know about this sooner anyway awesome video love your content like to see more on this board again thanks for covering this

[@aaronalquiza9680]

raspi zero 2w is only around $15. RADXA zero 2 pro is around $60. but yeah both have their own uses either way.

[@309electronics5]

Raspi is 15 dollars while the radxa is more expensive. Also different use cases because raspi has good io support from python and lots of documentation. If you only care about computing power then the radxa beats the pi

[@mattharvey8712]

Bravo........looks like a raspberry pi .......cheers

[@user-qy2wf2lt6v]

I've been waiting for ... 2+ years now!

[@LazyBunnyKiera]

This thing is almost perfect.. if they swapped a mipi with a PCIe ribbon similar to the pi5.. +8gb of ram.. that would have sealed the deal for me. If they had a pcie version that could connect to a nvme SSD.. it would have been a bit more attractive.

[@Toteniuz]

One of the official shops has a greyed out 8GB option, I assume that means it will be coming soon.

[@Kw1161]

Thanks ETA I ordered my Uconsole in the middle of February 2024 and am still waiting…🙏! I am interested when you get the Radaxxa board going..hope Raspberry Pi releases a compatible CMV soon or a RK3588 board the will work with the Uconsole…😊! Have a great day!

[@GustavoMsTrashCan]

OOOHH BOY HERE WE GO

[@beez1598]

I bought a bananapi Cm4 pin compatable with rpi cm4, with the a311d. its so far from a plug and play situation for the uconsole, sadly. working on patching the kernel but best of luck with this SBC. I agree the uconsole needs a little more horsepower.

[@g.s.3389]

it would be nice to have additional informaiton and demo about the NPU that now is nearly everywhaere in those chips (except on RPI)

[@StretchDattass]

Its for the stupid AI crap everyone is shoehorning into their marketing these days, literally nothing to use it for yet, but you have to constantly talk about AI shit now as a company or your stock will tank.

[@MichaelDeHaven]

I agree AI is absolutely mostly a marketing term, at this point. However there are a few uses for it. If your project involves video analysis, such as finding people or faces, then the NPU is a better choice. Not saying most of us need it, just that it does have some legitimate use cases.

[@Pakrohk]

Hey ETA PRIME! I'm a big fan of your content. I have a request - could you please consider adding the game GRID Autosport to your Moto Ready game tests in the future? It's a fantastic racing game, and I'm really curious to see how it performs on different gamepads. It would be great to get your analysis on the gamepad experience for this title. Thanks for all the awesome work you do!

[@nnoo]

Uconsole upgrade yes please

[@corewarrior]

definitely provide a video of Linux. It would be interesting to see how well it performs.

[@user-up7kd5hg9r]

i love your channel

[@kodigates3788]

All I see on the website is Android TV where do I find the Android Tablet OS?

[@Rocky-the-Rocket]

I cannot find what video controller chip is in the Radxa Zero 2 Pro. The chip in the uConsole is the Jadard JD9365DA-h3 which has a max 800x1280 WXGA TFT output. I have found a couple of 8" and 9" screens that will work with that output for the uConsole, but no touch. The Zero 2 Pro does have a matching 8" and 10" screen with touch and accelerometer (Radxa 8HD AD 002, Radxa 10HD AD 001). My goal is to replace my older 8" tablets with something more open and supported in Linux. This seems to be the best option yet. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this and whether you can successfully integrate this module with the uConsole.

[@jierenzheng7670]

Can we make a carrier board and upgrade the Raspberry Pi PSP 1000 mod?

[@univera1111]

very nice and impressive. review. try to get windows 11 arm to run on lt lets see

[@0xKruzr]

I'm pretty sure this would be significantly slower than the upcoming CM5, which I think is supposed to be largely pin-compatible with CM4 boards -- so theoretically the CM5 could be a drop-in replacement on your (and my) uConsole.

[@irvingibarra15]

I wanna make a cyberdeck with that

[@serversC13nc3]

impressive performance of SBC on small form factor. If they add at least 1 m.2 slot instead of microsd or emmc, this would be 10x better.

[@Pakrohk]

ETA PRIME, I have another suggestion for you! I recently learned that Xiaomi's HyperOS phones support a PC mode similar to Samsung DeX and Moto Ready For. This could potentially be a competitor in the mobile desktop experience space. It would be really interesting if you could test out some of Xiaomi's HyperOS devices and evaluate their PC mode performance. How does the desktop experience compare to DeX and Ready For? What are the capabilities and limitations? Your analysis would provide valuable insights for anyone considering these Xiaomi phones as an alternative desktop solution. Your channel is stellar at thoroughly testing these mobile desktop environments. Covering HyperOS would expand the variety of options examined. I'm sure your fans, myself included, would appreciate getting your expert take on Xiaomi's offering. Keep up the awesome work!

It's a 5 year old SOC that will definitely need cooling, which will negate it's size to some degree. It's not really great value either as a standalone option. For projects that require something small it will have use but otherwise it's meh for what they are asking.

The Radxa 5C 4GB is $60, while the Radxa Zero 2 Pro 4GB whiout the emmc is $55 I dont think this is a good deal. 5C is even less if you are whilling to risk the "lottery" version, aka the "little" version.
