This SBC is still expensive but interesting nonetheless, especially with how capable it is. I'd really love to see companies adapting this SBC in their handhelds.

THis is why I subscribed to your channel. It's a gold mine of knowledge.. Thank you for doing this!

Until this gets a Mainline Linux kernel it's true Gaming potential will never be reached.

"I initially was not getting good performance when it comes to N64 on this board" - I had the same results with my actual N64 😄

[KiraSlith]

This is VERY promising, exactly the kind of thing my Grandfather was talking about taking over the consumer sector a few years ago. It's well fleshed out as a platform out of the box, just needs some kernel side modules taken FOSS (or R.E.'d by the community) and it'll be ready to go as a full-fat workhorse.

Hi. It's so weird that gpu acceleration works only under wayland. That looks like some kind of screw up in the ubuntu image. Have you tried to switch your desktop to X11 to see if you get batter performance. (It can be done on the login screen. little gear icon right bottom corner)

Could you make an arm mounted cyberdeck with this? I feel that could be an awesome project especially if you load it up with sensors and add a head mounted display + use the sensors for gyro controlled mouse movement!!! House it in a 3d printed case and you have a nice piece of kit!

finally. an sbc reviewer for normies that mention that llvmpipe is soft rendering. ding, ding Explaining computers..

Funny how you put a casette next to it for size comparison. You do realise most ppl using youtube have no idea what a cassette tape is? :P

[craigjanssen]

While not super affordable, it’s priced pretty competitively especially for a board coming from Khadas. Looking forward to seeing how this does using Android.

I don't know why i clicked on this video, but i'm kinda glad I did. thanks for the show of how nice linux runs on this little guy... very impressive. interesting.

Can you help me with the timing for pressing Function + Reset to get into OOWOW? I have android installed, and want to get back to OOWOW to go to Linux, but can't seem to get the button combo correct....

[MLGPRO-dxfg]

Holy crap, we finally have a ARM SBC that can truly replace a desktop. Will be ordering one soon!

[jwill]

This could replace my Nvidia Shield as an Android TV device.

The sony CFH 60 is one of the better Type I cassettes, but not as good as the TDK FE90 or BASF ones. I did like Type II cassettes a lot, even some entry level ones, like the maxell SQ90 (which i did transplant into better shells at some point), Fuji DRII and TDK SuperCDing. But my all time favourite will be the Sony UX Pro, a perfect Type II cassette. Sadly i only have three of them. And nowadays they have gotten so expensive, especially NOS, because there are collectors which use them as trading item, instead of using them to record something on them. Maybe because they don't know how to operate and maintain a good cassette deck.

I would love to see Recalbox distro running on this board!

[atemporalmusic]

Seria um ótimo Hard ON para o Sega Dreamcast, conectando no lugar do modem, e atualizando o Sistema da Sega, para Memória, Internet, Wii-Fi, entre outra coisa...

[goruyorsunuzz]

make a handheld console from that SBC. You can use a portable LCD/IPS/LED screen/monitor and razer kishi. Body of the handheld console made by a 3D printer or use a body of Anbernic552/PSVita/Powkiddy

[Weimaraners]

I’d love to see someone with better skills and experience than me incorporate this board into something like an RG 503.

[zxminty]

on android the gaming is very good it’s able to play some tough games like fn or fg
